The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665, who named the biological units for their resemblance to cells inhabited by Christian monks in a monastery.
Robert Hooke (1635-1703), an  Englishman, first discovered the cell in 1664 while  examining a slice of cork under a microscope. Hooke observed that  a slice of cork is m â¦ ade up of tiny honey-comb like compartments,  arranged one on top of the other. He called these compartments '  CELL '.e gave cells the name cells because he looked at a cork underneath a microscope and he thought it looked like the Monk's cells.
