Who discovered cell and how?

Answers (1)

Cells were discovered in 1665 by Robert Hooke. He was examining a thin slice of cork using a primitive microscope designed by himself. He saw that the structure of the cork at a microscopic level is similar to that of a honeycomb. It had several small chambers like those in a honeycomb.

These small chambers were termed as cells.
