A flagellum is a "whiplike" tail that serves to propel a cell forward. A fish would use its tail to help it move forward. Also, a powerboat is propelled by a rotor, which operates much like a flagellum (although it may be important to note that flagella are often longer than the cell; whereas boat motors are relatively small).
