Question

Cells were first identified as Robert Hooke observed _____.

Answer 1

this might sound werid but its true the answer is cork 

Answer 2

The correct answer would be cork.

Robert Hooke discovered the cell in 1665. He observed the dead cell walls of plant cells (cork) under the microscope.

He observed that the arrangement of the cells was similar to small rooms or cellula which monks used to inhabit. Thus, he derived the name "cell" for these compartments he observed.

Due to a limitation in magnification power of the microscopes, he could not observe the nucleus and other cell organelles at that time.
