Do yeast cells move by themselves?

Yeast are simple fungi. The term "yeast" refers more to a life-style than to a phylogenetic classification.

Yeast cells don't really move on their own, but they do multiply by budding. That is why bread needs to be kneaded. It helps spread the yeast cells throughout the whole loaf.

Yeast cells don't have to be motile to contact each other. They move passively by means of "currents" in the water caused by temperature differences and random thermal motion (diffusion).

All living things evolve. Since yeast is alive, it is included. Of course, once it does evolve, it won't be yeast anymore. All living things evolve. Since yeast is alive, it is included. Of course, once it does evolve, it won't be yeast anymore.

Yes, yeast cells do tend to move by themselves. They also tend to reproduce themselves. Yeast is a eukaryotic cell.

Are yeast cells useful?

Humans have found yeast cells useful since the beginning of human culture. We use fermentation by yeast cells to produce alcohol, vinegar and leavened bread. Yeast cells are useful in research in many ways, including as a model organism for genetics research, molecular biology and medicin. Transgenic yeast cells can also be used to produce specific chemical substances not produced by wild types of yeast.
