Best Answer

Flagella are long whip like structures that the organism has only one or two of.

Cilia are numerous hair like structures that cover most of the organisms surface.

Both impart locomotion to the organism.

Flagella is the tail-like piece connected to the Cell Body of certain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and it functions in locomotion.
