The cell is the functional basic unit of life. It was discovered by Robert Hooke and is the functional unit of all known living organisms. It is the smallest unit of life that is classified as a living thing, and is often called the building block of life.

The rigid outermost cell layer found in plants and certain algae, bacteria, and fungi but characteristically absent from animal cells.
