A cell is defined as the smallest, basic unit of life that is responsible for all of life’s processes. Cells are the structural, functional, and biological units of all living beings. A cell can replicate itself independently. Hence, they are known as the building blocks of life.
Functional unit of life
The cell is called the structural and functional unit of life as all living organisms are made up of cells.
Cells are also essential for performing various life processes required for sustaining life.
