Cells weren't "Invented", more like "Discovered". Robert Hooke build the first microscope in the early 1600's. In 1665 Hooke observed a thin slice of cork through a microscope. The tiny walled spaces he saw in the cork reminded of tiny rooms, so he called them cells. If you are wondering what I cell is, well this is it: Cell is a basic unit of structure and function of all living things.
