how can i assign a column in a cell array -a vector

I have a 1*n cell array C an a matrix M n*8. i have to assign each column of C [1.....n] a vector of 8 values that are the columns of M.

    z=size(M,1);
    C=cell(1,z);
    for i=1:z
        v=M(i,:);
        c(1,i)=v;
    end

error = "Conversion to cell from double is not possible."

How to remove this error??

can i use mat2cell.I am not able to understand how to use it.

M=rand(4,8)  % Example
out=num2cell(M,2)'

%If you want to do it with your for loop, use curly bracket C{1,i}=v; or C(1,i)={v};

z=size(M,1);
C=cell(1,z);
for i=1:z
   C{1,i}=M(i,:);  % or C(1,i)={M(i,:)};
end
