From the end of the eighth week until birth, the embryo is referred to as a fetus. This stage is characterized by significant growth and development of organs and body systems, preparing the fetus for life outside the womb. The term "fetus" indicates a more advanced stage of development compared to the embryonic stage.
Very early on in the womb, the developing child is known as a zygote after fertilization. This stage lasts for about a week as the zygote divides and forms a blastocyst, which then implants into the uterine wall. Following implantation, the embryo stage begins, lasting until about the eighth week of pregnancy. During this time, the foundations for all major organs and systems are established.
The period of time during which a zygote, embryo, or fetus is carried in the female reproductive tract is approximately 38-40 weeks in humans. This time frame consists of three stages: zygote (fertilized egg), embryo (up to 8 weeks), and fetus (9 weeks until birth).
Shark eggs are commonly known as mermaid's purses. These are protective cases that house the developing shark embryo until it is ready to hatch.
Donor cows are female cows that are used for the purpose of donating their reproductive material, such as eggs or embryos, for assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization. They are selected based on their genetics and reproductive performance to produce offspring with desirable traits.
Wallabies usually have just one joey at a time, but on rare occasions have been known to give birth to twins.When a wallaby mates, that mating will only produce one baby. However, sometimes, a female wallaby will mate just after she has given birth, yet the young embryo will stop developing until conditions are right for it to continue its development and to be born.Like kangaroos, wallabies have embryonic diapause, meaning they can be in a perpetual state of pregnancy. A young joey may be born while an older joey is still in the pouch or, if environmental conditions are not the best for raising another young one, the female can suspend development and birth of the embryo for some time.
From the time a fertilized egg is implanted in a mother's uterus until about the eighth week of pregnancy, the developing organism is called an embryo.
In humans, the prefetal product of conception from implantation through the eighth week of development.
Embryo, between the 3rd and 8th week. Fetus, after the 8th week

This cluster of cells change the baby grows from pre-embryo to embryo to fetus.
Fetus
The embryo lasts until about week 10 or 11 and then it is known as a fetus.
During this time period, the embryo is known as a fetus. It continues to grow and develop, with its organs maturing and becoming more functional. By the time of birth, the fetus is fully developed and ready to survive outside the womb.

An embryo is a multicellular diploid eukaryote in its earliest stage of development , from the time of first cell division until birth, hatching, or germination . In humans, it is called an embryo until about eight weeks after fertilization
It depends on what organism the embryo comes from.
