First stage of something (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embryo

(Other definitions for embryo that I've seen before include "Early stage of fetus" , "Very young creature" , "Animal in early stage of development, still in womb" , "Baby in womb during first eight weeks" , "It's potential to grow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
