Definition
固有 (gù yǒu) describes an intrinsic, inherent quality that is essential to something's nature. 内在 (nèi zài) is a close synonym for 'inner/internal' but often refers to physical or psychological interiors, while 固有 emphasizes inherent essence. 本土 (běn tǔ) means 'native' in the sense of homeland or local origin, not an essential quality.
