Why Higher multicellular organisms simply not grow by cell-to-cell division?

Answer:

Higher multicellular organisms cannot simply grow by cell to cell division because they are not just a random collection of cells.
In multicellular organisms, specialized cells are organized into tissues, tissues to organs, organs to organ systems and finally into the organism.
Also, different cells perform different functions . Therefore, we need more complex systems for reproduction in these organisms.
