Cell growth

Cell growth is when the cells in our bodies get bigger. Just like the leaves on a tree grow bigger as it grows, our cells also get bigger as we grow. Cells are like tiny bricks that build our bodies, so when our cells grow, our bodies grow. Every living thing (like humans, plants and animals) needs its cells to grow bigger so it can get larger.
