acquired characteristics
The process you are referring to is called differentiation. This process involves cells becoming specialized for specific functions within an organism, which allows for different parts to perform specific tasks necessary for the organism's survival and reproduction. Differentiation is essential for the development and maintenance of complex multicellular organisms.
The process that uses a body cell to create a new organism is called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT), also known as cloning. In this process, the nucleus of a somatic cell from the donor organism is transferred into an enucleated egg cell, which is then implanted into a surrogate mother where it develops into a new organism.
Inherited traits are necessary for natural selection because they are the ones that can be passed down to offspring. Acquired traits, on the other hand, are not directly encoded in an organism's DNA and therefore cannot be transmitted to future generations. Natural selection acts on inherited traits that are heritable and can influence an organism's ability to survive and reproduce.
A clone is an identical organism that is produced through asexual reproduction. This process results in offspring with identical genetic material to the parent organism.
Budding is a type of asexual reproduction where an organism develops a small outgrowth that eventually detaches and grows into a new individual. This process is commonly seen in organisms like yeast, hydra, and some plants.
Because the offspring of an organism with a desirable inherited trait is more likely to survive than the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait (because the offspring of an organism with a desirable acquired trait will not have its parent's desirable trait).
Reproduction
Reproduction is the process of producing a new individual organism.

The term used to describe the process of creating offspring is reproduction. It involves the production of new individuals which share characteristics inherited from their parents.

Mitosis
A virus is an organism that only carries out one life activity. This activity is known as reproduction. The study of viruses is called virology.
