embryo's

Early life stage's

Embryo's is the possessive form of embryo, an organism in early development before birth or hatching.

In humans, the term applies roughly through the first eight weeks after conception, before the developing organism is called a fetus: The embryo's heartbeat was detected at six weeks.

Figuratively, something in embryo exists in rudimentary form: the embryo's potential was already visible in the early sketches.
