Answer
Robert Hooke wrote the book "Micrographia" in 1665. This groundbreaking publication documented his microscopic observations of various objects, including the famous discovery of cells in cork tissue. Hooke coined the term "cell" because the tiny compartments he observed reminded him of the small rooms (cells) inhabited by monks in monasteries.
