Best Answer

The purpose of mitosis is to have a cell division which allows the cell to reproduce. During mitosis the cell is divided into separate organisms.
Single celled organisms are no longer single celled if they undergo mitosis. If it is a single celled organism that is supposed to become a multicellular organism, it will undergo mitosis to grow.
