He discovered it in 1665
Robert Hooke used a microscope to examine a piece of cork from an oak tree and saw tiny boxes similar to a monk's cell (which is a small room) so he named the structure 'cells'.
the cell was "invented" cause when he looked through the microscope, he called the tiny boxes cells.
Well, we can't see such tiny small things with just a naked eye. So they invented microscopes. The answer is because no microscopes were invented. The first person to build a microscope was Robert Hooke. In 1665 Robert Hooke observed a thin slice of cork through a microscope.

Hooke discovered cells when he examined cork under his homemade microscope.
he described the cork cells to be tiny cells
robert hooke coined the phrase tiny boxes and he was looking at a cell
He discovered it in 1665
Yea... Robert Hooke examamined a cork cell under a microscope. He realized that it looked like tiny boxes which he later named "cells."
When Hooke first looked through his mircoscope he broke of a tiny part of cork and found that it was not a solid object but was composed of numerous tiny cavities. They tiny cavities had small cells which made Robert Hook think of the rows of bare rooms or cells in which the monks lived in a monastery, He named what he saw "opening cells"

Robert Hooke called cells "little boxes" in the 1600's
