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.

Cilia and flagella
The three organelles are cilia, flagella, and pseudopods. Cilia and flagella are structures that extend from the cell surface and help in cell motility, while pseudopods are temporary projections of the cell membrane used for movement in certain cell types.
It is said that some plant sex cells contain a flagella.
When flagella are present all over a cell, this is known as a "peritrichous" arrangement.
Flagella are whip-like structures found on some cells that help with movement. They can propel a cell through fluids or create movement within the cell itself. Flagella are important for processes such as sperm motility, bacterial swimming, and movement of certain single-celled organisms.

Extensions of the centrioles are what make up cilia and flagella.
Flagella are like little rudders, they allow them to move around.
