Answer:

They can grow into any type of body cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stem cells are immature cell types- they are somatic cells, that contain the entire genome of an organism. The genome is made up of DNA, which encodes instructions for the cell.

These may potentially become various other types of cells through the process of differentiation and reach maturity. In differentiation, chemical signalling, and gene expression ultimately determine the cell's fate.
