Wikipedia
flagellata
A flagellate is a cell or organism with one or more whip-like appendages called flagella. The word flagellate also describes a particular construction (or level of organization) characteristic of many prokaryotes and eukaryotes and their means of motion. The term presently does not imply any specific relationship or classification of the organisms that possess flagella. However, the term "flagellate" is included in other terms (such as "dinoflagellate" and "choanoflagellata") which are more formally characterized.

flagellata
Flagellata is a large group of protozoa, or single-celled organisms, characterized by the presence of whip-like appendages called flagella. These flagella are used for locomotion, capturing food, and sensation. Some flagellates can live independently, while others exist as parasites in host organisms. For example, flagellates include the famously harmful Trypanosoma genus, which causes diseases like African sleeping sickness and Chagas disease.
