The stem cell is the biological cell that has the ability to differentiate into other types of cell. These are always found in the multi-cellular organism. These cells are known to be the foundation of every tissue and organ in our body. Embryonic stem cell is pluripotent, it means they can give rise to every type of cell in the body.
