Emergence definition

Organogenesis emerges from the interplay between cells, genes, and matter, where cells, as the basic units of life, interact with genes, which encode the instructions for development, and matter, which provides the physical substrate for growth and transformation, resulting in the formation of major organs and structures during embryonic development.
