He concluded that all cells come from preexisting cells.

Explanation:

Rudolf Virchow while building on the work of Theodore Schwann formulated a part of the cell theory which opined that cells arose from pre-exsiting cells which disproved the theory of spontaneous generation

Although this assertion has earlier been made by another scientist, Robert Remak in 1852, Schwann did not accept until later until after series of investigations. Schwann was later accused of publishing the work of Robert Remak as his in 1855.

The other parts of the cell theory include:

All living organisms are made up of cells which could be prokaryotic or eukaryotic Cells are the basic unit of life.

Answer: Rudolf Virchow's concluded that all cells come from preexisting cells.

Explanation: Rudolph Virchow state that 'Omnis cellula e cellula' which means that every cells arise from preexisting cells. Until Virchow came out with this theory, it was believed that new cells were created from a fluid called blastema (it was believed that the imbalance caused disease).

Rudolf Virchow's lay the ground work on cellular pathology (that is the study of disease at the cellular level). His work made it more clear that diseases occur at the cellular level and not blastema as believed. Diseases were diagnosed more accurately by scientist due to Rudolf Virchow's work.
