A cell that can produce different types of cells

Real World Example

Imagine you're at a buffet, trying to decide what to eat from a wide variety of dishes. Just like you at the buffet, a stem cell has the potential to become many different types of cells in the body. In this analogy, the buffet represents the body's needs, you are the stem cell, and the different dishes are the various cell types you can become, highlighting how a stem cell can transform into whatever the body requires, much like your choice at a buffet.
