totipotency
Totipotency refers to the ability of a single cell to divide and produce all of the differentiated cells in an organism, including extraembryonic tissues. In other words, a totipotent cell has the potential to form an entire organism on its own. This characteristic is primarily seen in embryos in the early stages of development and in plant cells.
