∙ 9y agoHooke was a bit of a polymath, and did a number of things. Today he's probably best remembered for Hooke's Law, which has to do with the tension in an elastic spring. However, he also actively studied gravity (and corresponded with Newton about it), microscopy, astronomy, and Paleontology.

Why was Robert hooke's discovery so important?
His discovery led to this improvement in science. He studied a dead cork [cell] and saw that it had many similar compartments that looked like holding cells, therefore the name Cells came to be. Robert Hooke saw the compartments with a special microscope that he built and invented. This microscope, however, was no where near as strong as the microscopes that we have today in our modern day technological lives.This is pretty much all that I can think of off of the top of my head, so BYE!!!
