Is the CPU found on the motherboard?

The CPU is not part of the motherboard but it is placed on the motherboard. The CPU is squared and about a quarter inch square in size. It is placed in the CPU socket. A heatsink/fan is placed on top of the CPU to keep the CPU cool which makes it pretty hard to see because the heatsink/fan covers it when it is in a working computer.

Why make integrated circuits like CPU's with millions of transistors on one chip instead of using individual transistors?

Size, power, cost, and speed... The size of a CPU with individual transistors could easily require a room full of electronics, whereas a modern CPU chip is smaller than a small coin. The power of a CPU with individual transistors could easily be in the kilowatt or hundreds of kilowatts range, requiring specialized power systems, whereas a modern CPU chip only requires 25 to 100 watts per core. (At full load.) The cost of a CPU with individual transistors could easily be in the millions of dollars, whereas the modern CPU chip might only be a few hundred dollars. The speed of a CPU with individual transistors is limited by the length of the conductors. The speed of light is about one foot per nanosecond. (3 x 108 m/s divided by 1 x 109 ns/s) If you have a large, room size CPU, there are physical limits on how fast it can go. A modern CPU chip can easily run in the GHz range, an impossible feat for a room sized CPU.
