There are two types or hairlike structures that microorganisms use for movement. They are cilia (singular: cilium) and flagella (singular: flagellum). Usually microorganisms have cilia (more than one cilium) and flagellum (usually only one).

Cilia comes to mind. Flagella also is used in motion, though " hairlike " would not be accurate.
