differentiation

The differentiation - The process by which the cells of the early embryo, which are almost identical and have not yet taken on any particular function, gradually diversify to form the distinct tissues and organs of the more developed embryo.

The word “differentiation” is also used in the assessment of cancer; it means the degree to which the microscopic appearance of cancerous tissue resembles normal tissue.
