They are whip-like extensions of certain cells or unicellular organisms that functions as an organ of locomotion.

*** To help the cell move around (They are like little tails that they swim around with. They are only in prokaryotic cells.)

They are also in eukaryotic cells. However, in eukaryotic cells they are 10X thicker, much mroe complex and also have microtubules that extend along their entire length.
