Paramecium.
They are called cilia.Long and fewer are called flagella.
Some protists use cilia, flagella, or pseudopods for motility. Cilia are short, hair-like structures that beat in a coordinated manner to move the cell. Flagella are longer whip-like structures that propel the cell forward. Pseudopods are temporary bulges of the cell membrane that extend and contract to push the cell in a particular direction.

Short hair structures in protists, such as cilia and flagella, play essential roles in locomotion and feeding. Cilia are short, hair-like projections that can move in coordinated waves, allowing protists to swim or move fluids around them. Flagella are longer and typically fewer in number, enabling a whip-like motion for propulsion. Together, these structures enhance the protists' ability to navigate their environments and capture food.
Flagella and cilia of eukaryotic cells consist of a bundle of paired microtubules, an axoneme, embedded in a matrix and surrounded by a membrane that is an extension of the cell membrane. These microtubules have the arrangement: 9 double tubules set in an outer ring around 2 central, separated tubules. At the base of the cilium or flagellum, within the cytoplasm, is a cylindrical structure called a 'basal body' or 'kinetosome'.

Cillia
Short hairlike projections that are used for locomotion are called cilia. Cilia are normally found on unicellular organisms and not multicellular organisms.

Ciliates are protists that move by the means of many short hair-like projections, called cilia.

Phylum Ciliophora are the type of protists that move by means of short hair-like projections. These hair-like projections are called cilia.
