Flagella are not cells - they are extensions of cells that render the cell motile. (Think of it as a tail of some sort.) Sperms have flagella and other unicellular organisms such as paramecium and other organisms such as bacteria have flagella too. It isn't common for plant cells to have flagella.

Flagella can be found in both plants and animal systems, although are more common in single celled animal cells.

Cilia and Flagella are found in both animal and plant cells. They enable the cell to move around its environment.

No. A Flagellum is a propulsion device, usually found in uni-cellular organisms for movement. Since a plant is neither uni-cellular, nor have any need to move, Plants do not have Flagella.
