Answer:

Robert Hooke

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell was first discovered by Robert Hooke in 1665. He observed a slice of a cork cells under a crude or a primitive microscope. He observed the dead cells of a cork. For the first time, Leeuwenhoek in the year 1674 discovered the living cells in pond water for the first time with an improved microscope.
