Seeing someone discussing the theory of "immortality VS reproduction" in the film, let me explain these two concepts

The original word for immortality is immortality, immortality. The original word for reproduction or reproduction is reproduction, which is the act of making offspring. Organisms composed of cells will grow old and die, so they are mortal and will die. While single cells can divide and reproduce, there is no process of "death" of multicellular organisms (multicellular organisms cannot divide, they are dead when they die, and there is no other self to live on), so the constantly dividing cells (cancer cells?) are "undead", immortal. According to the theory in the film, if the environment is good, the cells will reproduce in the state of multicellular organisms, and take the reproduction route, so that life can evolve; if the environment is not good, the cells will divide, take the immortality route, and live forever in the form of countless unicellular divisions. Please correct me from a biological professional. ———————————— Film review: Ge Yin has read too many novels by Liu Cixin recently, and felt that this film was just average.
