Spirogyra does not have a specialized organ of locomotion like animals do; instead, it exhibits a form of movement through a process known as "water currents" or passive movement. This filamentous green alga floats in water and can be carried by currents, allowing it to spread. Additionally, spirogyra can undergo a form of reproduction called fragmentation, which helps in its propagation rather than active locomotion.
Cilia and Flagellum
Spirogyra, a filamentous green algae, does not possess specialized locomotory organelles like cilia or flagella. Instead, it primarily relies on water currents for movement and dispersal. The algae's cylindrical, filamentous structure allows it to float and move passively in aquatic environments. Additionally, Spirogyra reproduces through fragmentation and conjugation, which aids in its propagation rather than active locomotion.
muscular system
The flagellum is the organelle in euglena that helps in locomotion. It is a tail-like structure that allows the euglena to move through its aquatic environment by beating in a whip-like motion.
The pseudopodia is the organ of locomotion of amoeba.The word pseudo means false and podia or pods means feet.As pseudopodia is the cytoplasmic projection which helps in locomotion of amoeba so it is also called as false feet.

muscular feet is the locomotory organ in mollusks
A valvelike organ that allows it to eject water in a concentrated stream.
A foot can be scientifically described as an organ of locomotion.

Spirogyra moves using a gliding motion along surfaces or by floating in water currents. Its movement is limited compared to organisms with specialized structures for locomotion.
You would speak of Spirogyra in terms of the species of Spirogyra: "there are over 400 species of Spirogyra"
