A stem cell is a type of cell that doesn't have a specific function. The cells you normally think about make up parts of the body like the muscles (e.g., heart), brain, nerves, etc. Stem cells have the ability to divide into these cells with a function and replace damaged ones. They can also divide into more stem cells.

The exploration and use of stem cells to replace damaged parts of the body is called stem cell research or technology.
