In some flagellates, flagella direct food into a cytostome or mouth, where food is ingested. Flagella role in classifying eukaryotes. Among protoctists and microscopic animals, a flagellate is an organism with one or more flagella. Some cells in other animals may be flagellate, for instance the spermatozoa of most animal phyla.

A flagellum (/ f l ə ˈ dʒ ɛ l əm /; pl.: flagella) (Latin for 'whip' or 'scourge') is a hair-like appendage that protrudes from certain plant and animal sperm cells, from fungal spores (), and from a wide range of microorganisms to provide motility.
In contrast, most other flagellates are pulled by their flagella. [citation needed] In addition to the single apical flagellum surrounded by actin-filled microvilli that characterizes choanoflagellates, the internal organization of organelles in the cytoplasm is constant. [13]
Choanoflagellata (flagellates formerly included in protozoa) Filasterea; Mesomycetozoea. Amoebidiales (formerly considered trichomycetes) Dermocystida (formerly considered parasitic fungi or sporozoans) Eccrinales (formerly considered fungi) Ichthyophonida (formerly considered parasitic fungi incertae sedis)
The heterolobosean pathogen Naegleria fowleri can behave as an amoeba (center) or as a flagellate (right).. An amoeboflagellate (pl. amoeboflagellates) is any eukaryotic organism capable of behaving as an amoeba and as a flagellate at some point during their life cycle.
Bicosoecida or Bicosoecales/Bicoecea is an order of Bikosea, a small group of unicellular flagellates, included among the stramenopiles.Informally known as bicosoecids, they are free-living cells, with no chloroplasts, and in some genera are encased in a lorica.
