A cell dividing in half is not growth. Growth follows cell division as each new cell increases in size. You can see this in a microscopic section of a root tip: Meristematic zone (mitotic area , little or no growth)--->zone of elongation (cells elongate;grow).

Do you reason?
Well, Let assume a cell has a diameter of 1 cm. If it divides (mitotically) and becomes two, the dameter also doubles and slowly by slowly the diameter increases to make a zygote a big as you are.

cells are like the bricks that make a house. When they divide you get more bricks so you can make a bigger house.
no you don't get two smaller bricks because a cell will grow after mitosis to reach the same size as the mother.

cell divides mitotically and this is obvious that when 1 cellular body give rise to other it vill occupy space and this increament of space is termed as GROWTH
