It's not so much what it does as what it represents: technology

Biotechnology can be used to create life or to destroy life. This was symbolized by the black goo having such a range of outcomes in the film, but it was ultimately a bioweapon that was impossible to control, and the engineers intended to bring it back to Earth to destroy humanity. The point of the movie is that technology and science, in relying purely on empiricism, lack a moral compass and that faith is the only way to guide it...as Einstein said, "science without religion is lame."

I think if you're looking for a biological explanation of exactly what the black goo does, you're going to be disappointed.
