Cells are the functional unit of life, not just because they can perform every action attributed to a living thing, but because the whole complexity of life constitutes of cells, basically the term is also used in other disciplines to denote the very simplest part of an entity, not necessarily living things, this can be seen in the cells which makes up a battery.
However, prokaryotic cells do not actually lack a nucleus rather they do not have a well defined nucleus, their nucleus do not have the very essential nuclear membrane, but they basically posses chromosomes which is one of the major constituent of a nucleus, but due to the fact that these constituents are not arranged in a well defined membrane, they are not necessarily regarded as a definite nucleus and for primary knowledge prokaryotic cells are dubbed to be anucleate, but at a closer look they posses an unarranged nucleus without a membrane.
Nice write-up.
