Answered
Bacteria that possess flagella typically have a bacillus (rod-shaped) or spirillum (spiral-shaped) morphology. Flagella are used for motility, enabling bacteria to move toward or away from environmental stimuli (chemotaxis). While cocci (spherical bacteria) can have flagella, it is less common.
