Well, that depends how strictly you want to define your terms. This is because some organisms reproduce by cell division, but not grow (as in physical, individual, singular growth).

But if instead of grow you mean proliferate (meaning to become more of whether it be growth or reproduction) then we must define cell division. Since some organisms proliferate by cell budding (not strictly cell division) they would not fall under this category.

Therefore if you meant do all living organisms proliferate by multiplying cells, then yes, in laymans terms. However if you meant strictly any of the above, then no.

Most single celled organisms divide to become two single celled organisms. Some, such as the plasmodial slime mold merge back together into a multicellular organism.
