Somatic cell.
Adult (somatic) stem cells are characterized by self‑renewal and limited (multipotent) differentiation. Embryonic stem cells are pluripotent (broader differentiation), amniotic fluid can contain stem cells but the classic answer is somatic (adult) stem cells; heart muscle cells are differentiated.
