That is what makes stem cells different from ordinary cells. Stem cells aren't specialized for a single purpose but can change into many different types of cells. Blood cells are already changed and are nullipotent (meaning it can't change into a different cell). Once a cell has become a specialized (like blood cells) it can't change. Also stem cells have the ability to divide indefinitely, whereas the nullipotent cells can't.
Three types of stem cells in adults are hematopoietic stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells, and neural stem cells.
One major difference between adult and embryonic stem cells is their different abilities in the number and type of differentiated cell types they can become. Embryonic stem cell can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are thought to be limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin.
There are 60 different types.
There are five basic stem cells classifications there is embryonic stem cells, fetal stem cells. There are the Umbilical cord stem cells, placenta stem cells, and lastly there are adult stem cells.
There are three different types of tissue stem cells in the body. They include the tissue stem cells also known as adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells, and induced pluripotent stem cells.

There are three types: totipotent, multipotent, and pluripotent. Totipotent: cells produced from the fusion of an egg and a sperm (embryo) Multipotent: cells that can give rise to a small number of different cell types--for example, bone marrow and brain contain this type Pluripotent stem: this type can produce almost all type of cells in the body; called 'true' stem cells I know there are Endothelial Progenitors, Germline Stem Cells, Hematopoietic Progenitors, Mesenchymal Stem Cells, Neural Stem Cells, Signaling Pathway, Embryonic Stem Cells, Cancer Stem Cells and Stem Cell Cytokines.

Three main classification and five different types.three classification areTotipotent: it has the potential to become all other types of cells in the body. A fertilized egg is totipotent.Multipotent: a small number of stem cells can produce only certain types of cells.Pluripotent: stem cells that produce any type of cell in the body except those needed to develop a fetus.and five different types are:early embryonic stem cellsblastocyst embryonic stem cellsfetal stem cellsumbilical cord stem cellsadult stem cells

If you meant, what are the name of the cells that have the ability to develop into different kinds of cells, then they are stem cells.
Stem cells are of different types and perform different functions e.g. stem cells present in bone marrow form new blood cells bu mitosis . In lower animals e.. Planaria stem cells present in body help in regeneration , such cell are called Neoblasrs and they are undifferentiated cells .
There are 60 different types.
