HI there
Yes stem cells are undifferentiated/ non specialised cells.

I don't fully understand your first Q - perhaps rephrase it please?

I learned that stem cells differentiate into specific cell types (e.g. red blood cells) to perform different roles. In terms of plants, can they still differentiate after they have differentiated into a specific cell?

Apologies for the late response.

I don't think they can however I'm not confident in my answer so don't take my word for it. Hopefully someone else on here can help though.

Best wishes.
