Wikipedia
multipotent
Cell potency is a cell's ability to differentiate into other cell types. The more cell types a cell can differentiate into, the greater its potency. Potency is also described as the gene activation potential within a cell, which like a continuum, begins with totipotency to designate a cell with the most differentiation potential, pluripotency, multipotency, oligopotency, and finally unipotency.

multipotent
Multipotent refers to a type of stem cell that has the ability to differentiate into a limited number of specific cell types, typically within a particular lineage or family of cells. This contrasts with pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into nearly any cell type in the body. Multipotent cells play key roles in development, tissue maintenance and repairing damaged tissues.
