Solution:

In plants, the differentiated cells regain the capacity to divide mitotically under certain conditions and this capacity to divide once again, is dedifferentiation (e.g., interfascicular vascular cambium, wound meristem, cork cambium).
Redifferentiation is the event of losing the ability to divide by dedifferentiated cells.
Dedifferentiated cells divide and produce cells that once again lose the capacity to divide and mature to perform specific functions.
Redifferentiated cells are phellem, phelloderm, secondary xylem, secondary phloem and complementary cells.
