<P> A flagellum ( / fləˈdʒɛləm / ; plural : flagella ) is a lash - like appendage that protrudes from the cell body of certain bacterial and eukaryotic cells . The primary role of the flagellum is locomotion , but it also often has function as a sensory organelle , being sensitive to chemicals and temperatures outside the cell . The similar structure in the archaea functions in the same way but is structurally different and has been termed the archaellum . </P>
