To help simple organisms move. They act like legs
Cilia is to move liquid past the surface of the cell. This is for one cell.
The primary function of cilia is that of movement. They can be found on bacteria, microscopic organisms and even in the human digestive and reproductive systems.
The cilia beat in waves hundreds of times a second catching the egg at ovulation and moving it through the tube to the uterine cavity. The cilia move the egg along the length of the Fallopian tube.
Cilia are hair like projections.They air in cell movement.
Mucus secreted by goblet cells trap the foreign particles. Cilia push the particles out wards. This protects your lungs from damage by the foreign particles.
To filter out particles that are possibly harmful if allowed to reach your lungs.
Bacteria do not have cilia. They have fimbriae and flagella.
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia propel the foreign particles out wards.
cilia that surrounds the paramecium serves as their mode of movementn.
the cilia draws water into the mantle cavity

Wow you fell for it
Cilia wave about in particular manner to perform some particular function. For example the cilia in your respiratory tract push the foreign particles outwards. Cilia push the egg towards the uterus.
Cilia are present all over the bronchial tree. Cilia push the foreign particles out wards. By this way cilia protect your respiratory system from damage by particles. Cilia also push the bacteria out from the respiratory tract.
locomotion
When look at the function of cilia in the immune system, you mainly refer to the cilia present in the respiratory system. Cilia, along with mucus, are part of the innate immunity your body has. Mucus in respiratory tubes traps most microbes and dust that get past the nasal filter (nasal hair). Cilia on cells lining the tubes sweep mucus upward and out of the system. !!
Cilia moves the liquid past the surface of the cell. For single celled organisms, the cilia also enables them to swim.
The cilia are tiny hairs which act to trap dust or dirt particles in the air that people breathe. The cilia and the mucus helps to keep dust and dirt out of the lungs.
