Yes. I agree that cell is a building block of an organism as it is considered a basic functional unit of life. It is because a cell is the smallest unit of life and all the living organisms are made up of cells. Single-cell divides and differentiate itself to form multicellular cells and hence, multicellular organisms are formed. Those multicellular organisms have a fusion of gametes by the process of fertilization and give rise to the new organisms and the process goes on. However.if we take unicellular organism, then its whole body is that cell only. All the life functions are performed by that single-cell only.
