The cell is the basic unit of life. All living organisms are made of cells and carry out essential functions like growth and energy production.

Organisms can be 

  1. Unicellular: Made of one cell (e.g., bacteria, amoeba).
  2. Multicellular: Made of many cells (e.g., humans, plants).

Cells were discovered by Robert Hooke, and they form the foundation of the cell theory.
