Yes I agree with this statement : “A cell is a building unit of an organism”
Reason:
1.cell is basic unit of life and a building unit of an organism.
2.All the living things (plants,animals)are made of cells.
3.just as a house is made up of bricks , in the same way , a living organism is made of cells.
4.cell is smallest unit which has a definite structure and performs a specific function .
5. cells come together to form tissues , tissues come together to form organs ,organs come together to form organ system , and these organ systems form
an organism.
6. thus cells are the building unit of every living organism on this earth.

Yes its true that cell is a building unit of an organism.
For example,if we take unicellular organism, then its whole body is that cell only.
All the life functions are performed by that cell only.
In multicellular organisms, similiar group of cells come together to form tissues.
Similiar group of tissues come together to form organs.
Similiar group of organs functioning together as a unit forms organ system.
Different organ systems running all the life functions properly makes an individual.
The best example is : at zygote stage the individual is single celled, which divides several times and gradually forms embryo then fetus and finally a new born baby which grows to become an adult human being.
