The term ‘flagellum’ is the latin term for whip indicating the long slender structure of the flagellum that resembles a whip. Flagella role in classifying eukaryotes Flagellum, hairlike structure that acts primarily as an organelle of locomotion in the cells of many living organisms

Flagella, characteristic of the protozoan group mastigophora, also occur on the gametes of algae, fungi, mosses, slime molds, and animals.
Flagella are filamentous protein structures found in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes, though they are most commonly found in bacteria
They are typically used to propel a cell through liquid (i.e These microstructures propel cells through liquids, helping in navigation, nutrients, and defense mechanisms. They are found across various organisms, from bacteria and archaea to eukaryotic cells. Found in bacteria, protists, and sperm cells, they rotate or wave to propel the cell through liquids.
Like capsule and pili, flagella are external to the cell wall in some bacteria Flagella are free at one end and attached to the cell at the other end. Flagella are the complex filamentous cytoplasmic structure protruding through cell wall These are unbranched, long, thread like structures, mostly composed of the protein flagellin, intricately embedded in the cell envelope.
Flagella in eukaryotes are supported by microtubules in a characteristic arrangement, with nine fused pairs surrounding two central singlets
These arise from a basal body In some flagellates, flagella direct food into a cytostome or mouth, where food is ingested
