What does a cell look like?
In 1665, the English scientist 'Robert Hook' observed a cork slice through a primitive compound microscope and discovered a honeycomb structure. It was appearing like many tiny pores and he named them "cells".
The word "cell" was taken from the Latin word Cella, which means 'a small room or compartment' and also Cellulae, which means the six-sided cell of a honeycomb. While coining the term "cell", Robert Hook did not know the real structure or function of the cell.
