Stem cells are cells that have the potential to develop into a variety of different cells e.g skin cells, nerve cells, blood cells etc. The word stem in "stell cell" is best pictured as the stem of a plant, where a variety of branches are able to develop from it.
Bone marrow is used for stem cell reserch.

Stem cells are capable of self-renewal and assymetrical division to give rise to progenitor cells. Progenitor cells are cells that can further differentiate into other cells though it has lost the stem cell's ability to self-renew. When a stem cell divides, the same stem cell and a progenitor cell is produced. The production of the same stem cell is evidence of self-renewal and the production of a cell different from the parent cell is evidence of assymetrical division (regular mitosis gives rise to two identical daughter cells).
Technically, a stem cell is a type of cell that can be transformed into any type of cell, so any type of stem cell can be transformed into a cell that makes fat and/or bone...

Stem cell culture refers to the process of growing and maintaining stem cells in a laboratory setting. This involves providing the necessary conditions, such as specific growth factors and nutrients, to support the proliferation and differentiation of stem cells. Stem cell culture is essential for research, drug development, and regenerative medicine applications.
Unipotent
A progenitor cell is a partly specialized cell that is the daughter of a stem cell. Progenitor cells have a more limited differentiation potential compared to stem cells and are committed to differentiating into specific cell types.
