Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Morphology-based taxonomy often relies on microscopy techniques to identify features too small to be resolved by the human eye, and in recent years the field has moved towards incorporating three-dimensional imaging techniques to offer additional description methods for taxonomic applications10, 11, 12.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the 18th century, Carl Linnaeus published a system for classifying living things, which has been developed into the modern classification system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The invention of the microscope led to the discovery of the cell by Hooke.

This discovery led to the development of the classical cell theory.
