There are 60 different types.
Multipotent stem cells can differentiate into a limited range of cell types, typically related to a specific tissue or organ. For example, hematopoietic stem cells, which are multipotent, can develop into various types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Similarly, mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into bone, cartilage, and fat cells. However, unlike pluripotent stem cells, multipotent stem cells cannot give rise to all cell types in the body.
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.

A blood stem cell is a multipotent stem cell, as it can differentiate into various types of blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. However, it is limited to producing cells within the blood cell lineages.

Multipotent refers to a stem cell's ability to differentiate into a limited number of cell types. These cells are more specialized than pluripotent stem cells, which can differentiate into any cell type in the body. Multipotent stem cells are found in various tissues and can give rise to specific cell lineages.
