How does a human being grown from a single fertilized cell into an individual containing billions of cells?

Answer:
Cell differentiation.

DNA contains the code to form any type of cell in the human body. At first, the cell just replicates everything, then it starts to differentiate. Some parts of the code become inactive and other parts become active. This is how it goes from a bundle of cells to creating bones, liver, lungs, heart, brain, etc.
