He's most famous for creating laws about elasticity. See the link below.

And hes famous for discovering the parts of cells.
Robert Hooke is known for completing the experiment of using a microscope that magnified 30 times. Based on hims finding it was then created the cell theory that has two basic ideas:

1. All organisms are made of one or more cells.

2. All new cells come from other cells.

Note: When cells reach a certain size it splits in two, it has to make another nucleus and make new copies of organelles in the cytoplasm. This takes up energy and nutrients. When the cell is ready to divide it puckers around the middle and separates into two almost even halves. They have become two almost identical cells. This process is called cell division

The literal meaning of organelles is little organs, they do the work of the cell.
Robert Hooke was a scientist that was observing a piece of cork that had started cell theory, and he was the inventor of the best microscope of his time. And he called it cells because it looked like the rooms monks would live in.
