The assembly of a cilium, a specialized eukaryotic locomotor organelle that consists of a filiform extrusion of the cell surface. Each cilium is bounded by an extrusion of the cytoplasmic membrane, and contains a regular longitudinal array of microtubules, anchored basally in a centriole. The developmental process by which the size or shape of a cell is generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. A process that is carried out at the cellular level and by which the structure of a cilium is organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. The process by which the anatomical structures of a cell part are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form.
