A specialized cell means simply that: it has a specific job in the body. Therefore, specialized cells will contain more of the parts it needs to carry out the specialized task. A unicellular organism has only one cell, which means that it has to carry out all functions of life in a single cell. Thus, it will have all the needed parts rather than specialized parts.
Unicellular organisms clone themselves, except for errors or genetic exchange via plasmids, are genetically the same as the original, whereas multicellular organisms usually use sexual reproduction, which produces new organisms that are genetically different from their parents. Reproduction is a much more time-consuming, complex, and difficult process for multicellular organisms.

Unicellular; Made up of only one cell.
Multicellular; Made up of many cells.
I Can't Tell you Much More than That Because You Can Learn And Figure It Out.
Okay, in general, specialized cells in the human body perform a single function in relation to the needs of the organism to which they belong. They respond to signals from within the organism like, hormones in the blood stream and signals from nerves.
A unicellular organism cannot specialize to the degree of a multicellular, all the functions and needs of the organism must be made by the one cell. For example, water balance in a multicellular organism like a human uses specialized cells in the kidney, which respond to hormones like the AntiDiuretic Hormone (ADH) whereas a unicellular organism like the freshwater paramecium have a contractile vacuole (a organelle) to get rid of excess water.
Unicellular cells can survive without the help of other cells. A multicellular organisms is made up of more than one cell and can not survive alone outside of the organism.
