Cells are very dynamic because the cell membrane or plasma membrane is surprisingly flexible. Although the analogy for a cell in Biology is 'the building blocks of life', most cells do not have a rigid boundary that confines them to any particular shape.
The plasma membrane is composed of a double layer of phospholipids (commonly called the phospholipid bi-layer). The plasma membrane is constantly moving and remodelling itself during processes such as cell motility and cell division. This dynamic nature of the plasma membrane allows cells to attain different shapes and pull away during cell division giving rise to two daughter cells
