The cell fate commitment of precursor cells that will become trophectoderm cells. The commitment of cells to specific cell fates and their capacity to differentiate into particular kinds of cells. Positional information is established through protein signals that emanate from a localized source within a cell (the initial one-cell zygote) or within a developmental field. The initial formation of a blastocyst from a solid ball of cells known as a morula. A biological process whose specific outcome is the progression of a cell over time from an initial condition to a later condition. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of a trophectoderm cell. The process whereby relatively unspecialized cells, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cells, acquire specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize the cells, tissues, or organs of the mature organism or some other relatively stable phase of the organism's life history. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
