He used the microscope!!!
Robert Hooke used the word cell when he looked at cork through the microscope because he probably thought of prison cells (prison cells are all squashed together like cells/cell particles of the cork).
Robert Hooke
compound microscope that he made himself
Microscope was first invented by Anton Van Leeuvenhoek. This invention of him is used by Robert Hooke on his study which soon led to the further learning of cell Robert Hooke first viewed a cork or a old bark of a tree. There he noticed that it looks honeycombs that's why he called it cells because it looks as his monastery. His observation led to the study of cell LaDy_caRoLi "Christine carren alcantara"

The first person to use the word "cells" in a biological context was Robert Hooke in the 17th century. He used the term to describe the small compartments he observed in a slice of cork under a microscope, likening them to the cells in a monastery.
Robert Hooke used a compound light microscope to find cells. He found cells looking at cork and thought that they looked like cells.

Robert Hooke first viewed cells with a microscope. He began calling them cells because they resembled the cells in which monks lived and worked.

a thin slice of cork and microscope
In 1663, Hooke observed the structure of a thin slice of cork using a compound microscope he had built himself. Cork, the bark of an oak tree, is made up of cells that are no longer alive. To Hooke, the cork looked like it was made up of tiny rectangular rooms, which he called cells.

Robert Hooke
Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek is the first who observe the tiny, unicellular living things but Robert Hooke is the one who confirmed Leeuwenhoek's observations and was the first to use the term cell. Robert Hooke was also the first person to observe non-living cells.
