Paramecium moves by
Explanation
Paramecium is a single-celled organism covered in tiny hair-like cilia. They beat together in a wave-like, co-ordinated way and push it through the water.
So it moves by the co-ordinated beating of its cilia. Flagella are few, long, whip-like structures, as in Euglena, not Paramecium.
