Why cell is called basic structural and functional unit of life

Dear Student

Cell is the structural & functional unit of life because all living organisms are made up of cells and these cells perform all the functions essential for the survival of the organism. For example - respiration, digestion etc.
In unicellular organisms, a single cell carries out all these functions and in multicellular organisms different groups of cells carry out different functions.
