Totepotency refers to the capacity of certain stem cells to differentiate into any cell type in an organism, including both embryonic and extraembryonic tissues. This concept is often associated with the earliest stages of embryonic development, where cells are completely undifferentiated and have the potential to form a complete organism. In practical terms, totipotent cells can give rise to all cell types, including those necessary for forming the placenta. An example of totipotent cells is the zygote formed after the fertilization of an egg by a sperm.
