Well the flagella works as a propeller to help the cells move. However plant cells dont actually have flagella or cilia because they dont need to move.
Some plants (bryophytes?) have motile sperm that have flagella. Also, only prokaryotic flagella work like propellers. Eukaryotic flagella whip back and forth rather than rotating.

Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?
Animals cells use cilia and flagella for movement.
Are flagella found in plant cells?
Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.
Is the flagella in the animal cell or the plant cell?
Generally neither. Plant cells to not have flagella and, apart from sperm, neither do animal cells. Flaglla are more characteristic of bacteria and protists.
Is cilia found in both plant and animal cells?
Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.
What exists in animal cells that does not exist in plant cells?
mitochondria flagella cilia just to name a few
Is flagella in animal cell or plant cell?

Are there flagella on plant cells?
Generally not, although some plant sperm do have flagella.
What three types of cells might have cilia or flagella?
protists. most likely consumers. they use flagella, cilia, and pseudopodia ( they are a mode of movement)

Is a flagella cell in a plant cell?
It is said that some plant sex cells contain a flagella.
Does a plant cell contain a flagella?
some plant cells do, which swim about. others don't.

Most plant cells have neither flagellum nor cilium but in some cases there are exceptions. For example, the cycads have some cells with cilia and flagella. In particular, sperm cells have a flagella.
What exists in animal cells that does not exist in plant cells?
mitochondria flagella cilia just to name a few
What structures are found in an animal cell but not in plant cells?
centrioles, lysosomes, cilia or flagella
Where can flagella be found?
Flagellum, (plural flagella) is mainly found on sperm, its the tail.
Why do animal and plant cells lack cilia flagella or other means of locomotion?
Cillia and flagella are used for motility. Most cells of animals and plants do not need to be mobile, but small uni-cellular or organisms of few cells do. But it is not true that animal cells do not have cillia and flagella. Sperm need to be motile so they have flagella. Your lungs need to clear dust and small particles from them so they have cillia.
