The claim is true to all LIVING things.

The first characteristic of a living thing is that they are made up of cells. A cell is the basic building block of all organisms. It is the smallest unit of organization in a living thing. They contain the organism’s hereditary information (DNA) and can make copies of themselves in a process called mitosis.

Cells are made up of a nucleus and a cytoplasm, enclosed by a thin wall called a membrane, which separates it from its surroundings. Plant cells have a nucleus, cytoplasm, and a cell membrane too. The main difference between a plant and an animal cell is that plant cells have a vacuole, chloroplast, and a cell wall.

Answer:

The unified cell theory states that: all living things are composed of one or more cells; the cell is the basic unit of life; and new cells arise from existing cells. Rudolf Virchow later made important contributions to this theory.
