Yes, that is actually their intended purpose. Many microbes have flagella to help them move around in their environment. The well known "tail" of a sperm cell is actually a flagella and what the sperm uses to move, or "swim", into the uterus.

Yes, flagella are long whip-like structures that protrude from the surface of certain cells and help in movement. Flagella move in a whip-like manner to propel the cell forward.

How do flagella move?

Flagella move by a whip-like motion generated by the interaction of motor proteins with microtubules in the flagellum. The motor proteins use ATP to 'walk' along the microtubules, causing the flagellum to bend and propel the cell forward. This movement is coordinated by the cell to help with functions such as cell motility.
