Because everything that makes the cell work is inside of the cell. It's not unlike why you have skin. If I rip off your skin you'll bleed out and die. If I remove the membrane of a cell, it'll die.

Have you read the section talking about biological membranes in your textbook? I'm guessing you'll find the answer there.
