What does the use of the term theory imply about cell theory or any other theory in science?

That nothing is absolute.
Science relies on induction - the idea that if something is true in all observed cases is must be true in all cases. For example - every time a plant cell has been observed under a microscope it has had a cell wall - therefore all plant cells have cell walls. Obviously it would be impossible to take samples of every single plant in the world - so this method is used.
So when the word theory is used, it means that based on the current scientific evidence, this is the best explanation - or that something has been found in all observed cases - but the means to prove it absolutely do not exist.
