The purpose of flagella (sing., flagellum) is motility. Flagella are long appendages which rotate by means of a "motor" located just under the cytoplasmic membrane.

Flagellum
The filament in a bacterial flagellum is made of a protein called flagellin. Flagellin forms the helical structure of the flagellum filament, providing the bacterium with motility.
Flagella is the plural form of flagellum.
Flagella (singular flagellum) are the whip like structures that allow some single celled animals to move.
The singular form of the word flagella is flagellum.

Flagellum can be found in some prokaryote and eukaryote cells but not in plant cells. Plant cells have cell walls to provide rigidness and that would contrast with flagellum, which purpose is to allow flexibility and movement.
The flagellum of a collar cell, or choanocyte, serves to generate water currents within a sponge's body. By beating its flagellum, the collar cell creates a flow that draws water into the sponge, allowing the organism to filter out food particles, such as bacteria and organic matter, from the water. Additionally, this movement aids in gas exchange and waste removal. Overall, the flagellum is essential for the sponge's feeding and overall function.
