Brief Explanations
Gliding motility in bacteria (and some other organisms) is a form of movement that does not rely on external flagella. Instead, it can be mediated by mechanisms like secretion of slime, surface proteins, or other cellular structures that allow movement along surfaces without flagellar propulsion. So the statement is false.
