Detailed explanation-1: -Initially discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, the cell has a rich and interesting history that has ultimately given way to many of today’s scientific advancements.
Detailed explanation-2: -He observed tiny porous honeycomb structures which he would refer to as cells, named after small rooms in monasteries. This discovery led Hooke to develop his Cell Theory, which hypothesized that that all organisms are made up of cells, and that cells are the most basic units of life.
