Quick Answer. Multicellular organisms are composed of more than one cell, while unicellular organisms are a single living cell. This difference determines the size and complexity of an organism, as well as the division of labor within it. Each kind of organism has its own set of survival benefits.
Difference between Unicellular Organism and Multicellular Organism. The number of cells in the body varies with different organisms. In some lower forms of life (Example: Euglena, Amoeba) The body is formed of a single cell; these organism are described as unicellular. In a unicellular organism, all life activities are carried out by itself with its internal structures. The intracellular structures are called the organelles. In the vast majority of plants and animals, the body is made up of numerous cells. They are called multicellular organisms. A multicellular organism is actually an aggregation of cells. Here a group of cells functions in a same way to form a tissue or an organ (Example: Xylem vessels, cork cells, cells in the skin). Multicellular organisms have a great capacity to survive than unicellular organisms.
