A stem cell is shaped like a imperfect circle. These cells are around 10-13 micrometers, but it obviously varies depending on what it later gets divided into. It does have a lot of the same organelles in a eukaryotic cell.
Stem cells are a versatile kind of cell. When it divides, it is able to transform into different kinds of cells or stay the same. They also have healing qualities that allows it to replenish other cells within the body.
They are also found in a multitude of tissues, such as brain, bone marrow, skin, teeth, heart, etc.
