The meaning and "use of": cilium
noun
- a short, microscopic, hairlike vibrating structure. Cilia occur in large numbers on the surface of certain cells, either causing currents in the surrounding fluid, or, in some protozoans and other small organisms, providing propulsion. - Some single-celled organisms called protists do in fact use cilia on their cell surface to swim through water.
