Cells of unicellular organisms are usually spherical due to surface tension.  Cells of the multicellular organism are usually polyhedral. Because polyhedral cells have more neighbors which means more intercellular exchange can occur. Also, the polyhedral group of cells resists stretching to a more extent.
