They are mainly for the movement of the particles which are present over the ciliated surface.
The cilia move in a systematic and rhythmical way which will move the particles for some distance.
The respiratory tract contains the ciliated epithelium and will help to move the dust and mucus out of the tract.

What would would a group of ciliated cells be called?
ciliated epithelial tissue
How is a ciliated epithelial cell modified?
A ciliated epithelial cell is modified in various ways to be able to perform its function. It is shaped like a wine goblet and that is why they are commonly referred to as goblet cells.
What tissue forms supporting rings of respiratory passages?
Ciliated and pseudostratified columnar epithelial cells plus goblet cells for the secretion of mucin.
What is the adaptation of a ciliated cell?
Ciliated Epithelial Cells have tiny hairs on them. These hairs sweep away any unwanted things, such as bacteria and dust which is trapped in mucus.

Cardiac muscle cell, skeletal muscle cell, smooth muscle cell, fat cell, neuron, stratified squamous epithelial cell, ciliated epithelial cell, bone cell, neutrophil, and erythrocyte(red blood cell)
