The answer is blastocyst. It contains a mass of cells in the inside and a blastocoele which is fluid-filled and an enveloping layer of cells (trophoblast).The inner mass will differentiate into the endoderm and consequently the internal organs. The formation of this blastocyst from an embryo is called gastrulation.
