Answer:

Cell theory was put forward by a famous German botanist- Matthias Schleiden and an English zoologist- Theodor Schwann in the year 1839. It has the following propositions: 1) Cells are the basic unit of life and they are therefore considered to be the building blocks of living organisms.

While looking at cork, Hooke observed box-shaped structures, which he called “cells” as they reminded him of the cells, or rooms, in monasteries.
