The basal body serves as a nucleation site for the growth of the axoneme microtubules. Centrioles, from which basal bodies are derived, act as anchoring sites for proteins that in turn anchor microtubules, and are known as the microtubule organizing center (MTOC).
The basal body is needed for ciliary and flagellar assembly, whereas the role of the centriole has remained more controversial (see below). Centrioles and basal bodies have the same highly conserved structure, although the appendages and orientation vary
