Just as some cells can move like an amoeba and get where they want to, with the help of pseudopodia, some others can use tiny hair like parts, called cilia. The word 'cilia' is the plural of cilium, which really means - short curved hairs that grow from the edges of the eyelids - that is eyelashes.
Cilia are microscopic hairlike processes extending from the free surface of a cell. They are capable of beating in an organized, rhythmic fashion.
