How does cell division help in growth and development of somatic cells and in gamete formation?

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells this means that it takes place in all types of cells that are not involved in the production of gametes. Prior to each mitotic division, a copy of every chromosome is created; thus, following division, a complete set of chromosomes is found in the nucleus of each new cell.

Well, im not sure what somatic cell is. But, the reason why cell division help in growth and development is because the main goal of cell division is to make more cells right? This is also why we keep growing (like taller/bigger) because more cells in our body because of that cell division.
