Answer:

Cell division is an important aspect of the cell cycle which is an essential for the living organisms as:

  • The genetic material is passed on to offsprings through cell division.
  • Helps in growth of the organism through mitosis.
  • Helps in reproduction as meiosis produces haploid gamete cells which fuses to form zygote.
  • Helps in replacement of dead cells as about 35000 cells die every second.

Thus, cell division is necessary for cell.
