Cell: In the context of computer systems, a cell is a fundamental unit of data storage, often found in a grid within a database or a spreadsheet. Each cell is identified by its unique address, resulting from the combination of its corresponding row and column labels, and can hold a piece of data such as a text string, a number, or a formula. Proper cell management, including access controls and data encryption, is crucial to prevent unauthorized data access or manipulation, ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.
