Best Answer

Scientist Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665. While observing a thin slice of cork under microscope he saw several pores that were separated by walls surrounding each of them. Hooke named them 'cell'. As cork bears dead cells he could not give any description about nucleus or cytoplasm.

The term cell was first coined by Robert Hooke in 1665. However it was Antonie van Leeuwenhoek who saw the first living cells, which he called animalcules, in 1674.
