True, he invented the word cells.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Hooke
"Hooke coined the biological term cell, so called because his observations of plant cells reminded him of monks' cells which were called "cellula." He is often credited with the discovery of the cell, although his microscope was very basic."
