Explanation

Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665 while observing cork under a microscope and published his findings in 'Micrographia'. He named the small box-like structures 'cells' because they reminded him of monks' cells. Later scientists like Virchow, Brown, and Schleiden built upon his foundational work.
