Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The third part, which asserts that cells come from preexisting cells that have multiplied, was described by Rudolf Virchow in 1858, when he stated omnis cellula e cellula (all cells come from cells).

Detailed explanation-2: -Virchow’s theory stated that just as animals are unable to arise without previously existing animals, cells are unable to arise without previously existing cells. The idea that new cells arose from pre-existing cells in both diseased and healthy tissue was not original.

Detailed explanation-3: -Around 1850, a German doctor named Rudolf Virchow was studying cells under a microscope when he happened to see them dividing and forming new cells. He realized that living cells produce new cells through division. Based on this realization, Virchow proposed that living cells arise only from other living cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -What did Rudolf Virchow discover? The discoveries of Rudolf Virchow are numerous. He was the first to describe leukemia which led him to the idea that disease was the result of dysfunctional cells. This observation led to the practice of cellular pathology.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
