Why didn't Robert Hooke recognize that cells are alive?

Robert Hooke might have discovered cells while being paid by the government to look through a microscope, but the actual anatomy of a cell had yet to be discovered. According to Hooke, a cell was simply an empty space that was protected by walls. He realized that cells were likely found in all matter, but he didn’t know anything about their functions or structure.
