No, cilia are not long whip-like strings; they are short, hair-like structures that cover the surface of some protists. Cilia beat in coordinated patterns to help the organism move through water and can also be involved in feeding. In contrast, flagella are the long, whip-like structures used by some protists for movement.

TRUE
It is called the Flagellum :D Flagellum- a long whiplike outgrowth from a cell that acts as an organ.
Flagella, Cilia and Cytoplasmic Streaming. Cilia are small hairlike structures that protists use to "crawl". A flagella is a long tail that pushes and propels the protist forward, also used by sperm cells. Cytoplasmic Streaming is used by the amoeba to "ooze" its way to places.
A whiplike appendage is a long, slender extension resembling a whip found on certain organisms, such as flagellated bacteria or some protozoa. It is used for propulsion or movement through a fluid medium.

Flagella and cilia aid in motion in protists. At the same time, cilia and flagella beat water back and forth so that it can go through the mouth-like openings of protists for them to pick food particles.
Flagella are long, whiplike organelles found in many unicellular organisms that are used for movement. They propel the cell by generating a whip-like motion that helps the organism navigate through its environment. Flagella are composed of microtubules and are typically found in pairs or singly.
Protists move using various methods such as cilia, flagella, or pseudopods. Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that beat rhythmically to propel the protist through water. Flagella are long whip-like structures that rotate to generate movement. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to pull the protist along a surface.

Some protists use cilia, flagella, or pseudopods for motility. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to move the cell. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that propel the cell forward. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to push the cell in a particular direction.
Protists can move using flagella, cilia, or pseudopods. Flagella are long whip-like structures that move in a wave-like motion. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the protist. Pseudopods are temporary extensions of the cell membrane that help in movement by changing shape.
