Here's why:
* Unicellular organisms are made up of a single cell that carries out all life functions. Examples include bacteria and amoebas.
* Multicellular organisms are composed of many cells that work together to form tissues, organs, and organ systems. Plants are multicellular organisms.
So, while a plant cell is a single unit, it doesn't function independently as a complete organism. It needs to be part of a larger structure, a plant, to perform all the necessary life functions.
