My best guess is when anything reproduces mutations may occur in the DNA. Some mutation happened in the DNA and the unicellular organism to start replicating itself. (We see call this mitosis) The mutation turned out to be a good thing and helped the organism survive, later generations through more mutations started orientating the cells into a specific shape... making a whip like tail so it could propel itself forward and so on and so on
