The word that means 'can adapt for anything'?

Hi again, sorry but you guys on this newsgroup have been so helpful so
far to help me find my words that I thought I might as well keep
asking lots more stuff if you don't mind. What's that word that means
when something can turn into anything else or take the form and
specializations of any other breed? I'm not talking about stem cells,
it's something else. I've been trying to remember this word for ages,
I think it begins with the letter 'L'...
