Cilia and flagella assist in the movement of cells. Not all cells have them, but they are very common in prokaryotic cells. They are usually long, and appear to be projections of the cell. Without them, some cells would be unable to function. For example, sperm cells require flagella to move towards the egg.

True or false in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion?
It is true that in multicellular organisms cilia and flagella are the major means of locomotion. Locomotion is one of the characteristics of living organisms.
What is the organ of locomotion of a ciliate protozoa?
