I am guessing you are referring to cilia, which are tiny hair like projections in the human body that help move cells, and keep out germs.
Hairlike projections that aid in the movement of substances along a cell's surface are called cilia
They are called cilia.Long and fewer are called flagella.
Protozoa that move by hairlike projections are known as ciliates. They have numerous hair-like structures called cilia that beat in a coordinated manner to propel the organism through its environment. Ciliates are found in various aquatic habitats and are known for their complex behaviors and feeding strategies.
Three types of motility by protozoa are ciliary movement, flagellar movement, and pseudopodial movement. Ciliary movement involves the coordinated beating of small hair-like structures called cilia, flagellar movement involves the use of whip-like structures called flagella, and pseudopodial movement involves the extension and retraction of temporary finger-like projections called pseudopods.
The hairlike projections on olfactory and gustatory cells are known as cilia in olfactory cells and microvilli in gustatory cells. These structures contain chemical receptors that interact with specific odorant molecules or taste substances, respectively. This interaction initiates a signal transduction pathway that ultimately leads to the perception of smell or taste. These projections increase the surface area for receptor engagement, enhancing the sensitivity of these sensory systems.
Cilia is the hairlike projections used for locomotion and obtaining food.

Short hairlike projections that are used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are normally found on unicellular organisms and not multicellular organisms.
