Embryo

The early developmental stages of animals and plants, from the first cell division until germination (plants), hatching (non-mammalian animals) or live birth (mammals). In humans, the term is usually reserved for the earliest stages of development, up to about 8 weeks; thereafter the organism is termed a fetus.
