The zygote is described as (multipotent I pluripotent/totipotent I omnipotent), because it is able to develop into any kind of cell in the body.
Adult stem cells are referred to as (multipotent / pluripotent I totipotent /
omnipotent), because they can differentiate usually only into the cells of the
tissues where they are found, whereas embryonic stem cells are (multipotent/
pluripotent / totipotent / omnipotent) because they can develop into any of the
body's cell types, although they cannot form the tissues surrounding the embryo.
