adult body cells have a function where as embryonic stem cells have no set function as of that stage. now there are some adult stem cells and those have little to no difference than embryonic 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.
Adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in some ways because they have less risk of immune rejection, as they can be collected from the patient's own body. Additionally, the use of adult stem cells avoids the ethical concerns surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells. Adult stem cells have also shown promising results in various treatments and therapies.
An embryonic stem cell potentially can develop into ANY cell in the body theoretically without limit to replenish, and an adult stem cell is only able to mature into a specialised tissue cell from which tissue the cell is positioned.
While adult bone marrow does contain stem cells, they are limited in their ability to differentiate into other cell types compared to embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent, meaning they can develop into any cell type in the body, making them more versatile for regenerative medicine and research. Additionally, obtaining embryonic stem cells does not require invasive procedures as collecting adult bone marrow does.
Researchers often prefer embryonic stem cells over adult stem cells because embryonic stem cells have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body, offering greater potential for regenerative medicine. In contrast, adult stem cells are typically limited to differentiating into a more restricted range of cell types specific to their tissue of origin. Additionally, embryonic stem cells can be cultured indefinitely in the lab, providing a more abundant and versatile resource for research and therapeutic applications. However, ethical concerns and regulatory issues surrounding the use of embryonic stem cells can complicate their research and application.

The adult stem cells are better than embryonic stem cells in a very few cases. One way they are better is that the adult stem cells can be transplanted back into the adult patient and grown. The body will not reject its own 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.

The structure and function of an adult somatic cell are specialized for carrying out specific tasks in the body, while embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated and have the potential to develop into any type of cell in the body. Adult somatic cells are more mature and have limited ability to divide and differentiate, whereas embryonic stem cells are pluripotent and can divide indefinitely and differentiate into any cell type.

Stem cells are considered as undifferentiated cells. They will divide and divide forming more stem cells. The two main stem cell types are embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. Only the embryonic stem cells can become any type of tissue. Embryonic stem cells have the potential to become any type of cell in the body. There is news as of 2015 that perhaps blindness can be cured using these embryonic stem cells.
Adult cells could refer to any cell in the adult body. Somatic cells however, are body cells (cells that have diploid number of chromosomes), different from germ cells (containing haploid number of chromosomes)
The three types of stem cells are Totipotent, Pluripotent and Multipotent. Edit By Camden Stevens: there are actually four- Totipotent, Pluripotent, Multipotent, and Unipotent stem cells. Toti, Pluri, and Multipotent are all embryotic stem cells, which means they occur in the embryo before the child is actually born, then pluripotent and multipotent last until adulthood. Then unipotent stem cells occur through adulthood to the rest of the life.
