Because he grasped that there had to be an independant "factor" as he called genes and that even if they don't always manifest they are still there and intact.
Because the traits weren't blended resulting in pink flowers. They were still purple and white.
discovered traits are inherited as discrete factors
how traits are PASSED from generation to generation.
Traits are inherited through the passing of factors from parents to offspring
Gregor Mendle tried to answer the question of how inherited traits are passed on from generation to generation, through his laws of heredity. His careful cross-breeding of thousands of pea plants led Mendel to key insights, now called Mendel's Laws of Heredity, about how inherited traits are passed on from generation to generation. -via ChaCha
Mendel found that every fourth plant had white flowers when he allowed the first generation to self-pollinate. Gregor Mendel was a scientist who lived from 1822 to 1884.hyuyt6yt8

Gregor Mendel observed that traits in pea plants were passed down from generation to generation in predictable patterns. He discovered the principles of inheritance, including the idea that traits are determined by discrete units of inheritance, now known as genes. Mendel's work laid the foundation for the field of genetics.
That inheritance of traits is particulate. That is the male and the female both contribute discrete genetic information that is not blended in the progeny of sexual reproduction. He called these discrete units " factors " and now we call them genes.Genetics.
