Heya user !!!
Here's the answer you are looking for
Cilia and flagella are locomotory organs. Their main function is to bring about locomotion in organisms. But higher plants are not motile and animals have developed structures like foot for locomotion. Hence we can conclude that higher plants and animals do not have cilia or flagella for the purpose of locomotion.
But in some animals cilia can be found on the epithelium to facilitate the transportation of materials along it.
