Hai Sweet Friend, @katr1997  WelcoMe To OpeN studY !!

Sponges have specific cells (choanocytes) that are very similar to choanoflagellates -- they look pretty much the same, and it is believed that choanoflagellates are the protists that are most closely related to animals. 

But... you have to understand that protists are not just one group. There are lots of groups, and some of them are more closely-related to plants, for example, than they are to animals, or very distantly related to both plants and animals. How protists use their flagella depends on the species. A lot of them use flagella to swim around, but there are others that use it to create water flow and/or filter feed.
