Detailed Solution

In 1838, Matthias Schleiden proposed that all plants are made of cells. He made this observation after studying plant tissues using a simple microscope.

Schleiden's work on plant cells was complementary to the research of Theodor Schwann, who proposed that all animals are made of cells. Together, Schleiden and Schwann laid the foundations for the cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of one or more cells and that the cell is the basic unit of life.

Hence, the correct option is Matthias Schleiden.
