To replace damaged tissue
Embryonic stem cells are naturally pluripotent and can make any tissue type.
Stem cells divide through mitosis making two cells known as daughter cells. One daughter cell becomes a stem cell and the other cell differentiates into, or turns into, the tissue the stem cell is meant to maintain.
The tissue in plants that contains stem cells is called meristematic tissue. This tissue is responsible for cell division and growth in plants, allowing for the formation of new tissues and organs. It is typically found at the tips of roots and shoots.
The basal layer of the epidermis contains stem cells that continuously divide and differentiate to produce new epidermal cells. These stem cells are responsible for regenerating the skin's outer layer.

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.
Satellite cells are a type of stem cell that specifically help repair and regenerate muscle tissue. Stem cells, on the other hand, have the ability to develop into different types of cells in the body. While both satellite cells and stem cells play a role in tissue regeneration, satellite cells are more specialized and focused on repairing muscle tissue.

Fibroblasts are the main cells that respond to injury by dividing to assist in connective tissue repair. They play a key role in producing collagen, the main structural protein in connective tissue, which helps in wound healing and tissue regeneration.
The stem cells from a newborn baby's umbilical cord blood are considered to be tissue stem cells because they can develop into any of the various kind of blood cells.
A function performed by stem cells in the skin is replacing lost skin cells.
The tissue in plants that contains stem cells is called meristematic tissue. This tissue is responsible for cell division and growth in plants, allowing for the formation of new tissues and organs. It is typically found at the tips of roots and shoots.
