Cells in real life do not have fins, they do not have complex eyes with lenses, they do not have the ability to grow a brain, they do not have spinal chords, they cannot have jaws, and they do not just become versions of themselves with legs when they jump beyond being just a cell. All morphology and in-game mechanics point towards Spore "cells" being multicellular fish-like animals.
