Answer 2

The material that Robert Hooke used to coin the term ‘cell’ is cork.

Explanation:

• While Robert Hooke was observing a thin cut slice of a cork tissue under a microscope, he was able to see a structure similar to that of the cells in a monastery.
• This made him coin the term ‘cell’ and named the microscopic structure as a cell.
• Cork cells are non-living cells of a mature woody plant.
• Hence, he named the microscopic specimen of cork as a plant cell.
