cilia are composed of a core of microfilaments, while flagella are composed of a core of microtubules.
microtubules are in both structures and they are arranged in a 9+) pattern.
flagella have a larger diameter than cilia.
flagella and cilia are composed of microtubules arranged in a 9+2 pattern.

Both cilia and flagella are made of microtubules, not microfilaments.
