Answer 2

The answer is 1665.

The cell was discovered in the year 1665. It was founded by Robert Hooke with the help of a microscope when he was observing a thinly cut cork piece. The structure he saw reminded him of the cellula occupied by Buddhist monks. Hence, he used the term cell to describe what he saw.
