When an instruction is read from the memory it is called?

When an instruction is read from memory, it is called "fetching." This process is part of the instruction cycle, where the Central Processing Unit (CPU) retrieves an instruction from memory to execute. Fetching is the initial step, followed by decoding and executing the instruction. This sequence is essential for the proper functioning of a computer's processing capabilities.

How the instruction code is stored in a cell?

Instruction codes are typically stored as binary data in memory cells in a computer system. Each instruction is represented by a sequence of bits that the processor can interpret and execute. The specific format and organization of the instruction code within the memory cells are determined by the computer architecture and the encoding scheme used by the processor.

Why we can't access instruction directly from memory?

The computer can! So if you need to see the instruction, ask the computer to get it and show it to you. The computer can probably even disassemble the instruction before showing it to you, so you can read it without having to understand the numeric machine code.
