As human body develops from As human body develops from single to multicellular, cells single to multicellular, cells specialize.specialize.
Body is interdependent system, Body is interdependent system, malfunction of one group of malfunction of one group of cells is catastrophic.cells is catastrophic.
Cells specialize into types of Cells specialize into types of tissues, then interspersed tissues, then interspersed into organs. into organs.
