Function. Cilia and flagella move liquid past the surface of the cell. For single cells, such as sperm, this enables them to swim. For cells anchored in a tissue, like the epithelial cells lining our air passages, this moves liquid over the surface of the cell (e.g., driving particle-laden mucus toward the throat).

Some cells have these small extensions on their cell membrane.
They help in locomotion and collection of food.
Unicellular organisms like paramecium have numerous cilia while Euglena has a single flagellum.
It's just the explanation.
