The cell was discovered by Robert Hooke who had been looking at cork under a microscope. He noticed little "boxes" which he called cells. Infact, the "cells" were part of the membrane of cork cells. It wasn't until the 1830s that cytoplasm was discovered. Before this cell organelles were thought to float around in the cell. Cytoplasm is the "jelly-like" substance that contains all membrane bound organelles. I do not remember the year Robert Hooke discovered cells.

What cell theory was only relevant in the 1800's?

The cell theory that was primarily relevant in the 1800s includes the ideas that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells, the cell is the basic unit of life, and all cells arise from pre-existing cells. This foundational theory helped to establish the understanding of biological organization and laid the groundwork for modern cell biology. Although the core principles remain valid, advances in microscopy and biochemistry have expanded our understanding of cellular functions and structures beyond what was known in the 1800s.
