Flagellum
A flagellum (plural, flagella) is a whip-like organelle that many unicellular organisms, and some multicellular ones, use to move about. They may also be involved in other processes.

A flagellum is a structure that allows the cell locomotion, usually in a suspended culture. So they will use those for chemotaxis, to move from one point to another.

Flagellum one or two longer "hair-like" or "tail-like" structures on the surface of some types of cells as a means of locomotion contain microtubules organized according to the "9+2 formula"

Each cilium or flagellum has a basal body located at its base.
Basal bodies anchor the cilia or flagella and are thought to be responsible for their formation.
Full article >>>

Each cilium (and flagellum) grows out from, and remains attached to, a basal body embedded in the cytoplasm. Basal bodies are identical to centrioles and are, in fact, produced by them.
