Why was Robert hooke's discovery was important?

Answer 1

His discovery led to this improvement in science. He studied a dead cork [cell] and saw that it had many similar compartments that looked like holding cells, therefore the name Cells came to be. Robert Hooke saw the compartments with a special microscope that he built and invented. This microscope, however, was no where near as strong as the microscopes that we have today in our modern day technological lives.

This is pretty much all that I can think of off of the top of my head, so BYE!!!

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Robert Hooks' compound microscope could ascertain the fact that plants are made up of cells.
