how did robert hooke come up with the term cell

Robert Hooke came up with the term "cell" in 1665 when he observed the structure of cork under a microscope he had constructed. He saw that the cork was made up of tiny, boxlike compartments that resembled the small rooms or "cells" (called "cellula" in Latin) that monks lived in. This resemblance inspired Hooke to use the word "cell" to describe these structures. However, Hooke was actually observing the empty cell walls of dead plant tissue, and he did not fully understand their living components or function at that time. The word "cell" was derived from the Latin term "cella," meaning a small room, and "cellulae," meaning the six-sided cells of a honeycomb. Hooke's observations were detailed in his 1665 book Micrographia, which popularized the term and laid the foundation for the later development of cell theory, although it would be over a century before the full biological significance of cells was understood.
