undifferentiated
Without distinct features
Undifferentiated means not divided into distinct parts or types—remaining in a general, unspecialized state.
In biology, undifferentiated cells haven't yet developed into specific tissue types: stem cells are undifferentiated.
More broadly, it describes anything lacking distinguishing features: an undifferentiated mass of data, undifferentiated consumer products competing solely on price.
