What is the difference between undifferentiated and differentiated cell?

Answer:
PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!
Differentiated cells are cells that “received a particular role” when it comes to cell. In this case, we also call it a “specialized cell”, too. This topic is related to biotechnology based on what I have learned.
For example, let’s talk about “Stem Cells”.
Stem Cells are undifferentiated cells that have potential to receive a particular role. If those stem cells (undifferentiated cells) get a type of electric signal, they become differentiated. That is why stem cells can be changed to any body cells, like muscle cells, skin cells, bone cells, and so on. And this is why the medical researchers are trying to figure how to turn stem cells into a specialized cell they want.
In Summary,
Undifferentiated Cells are the cells that did not receive any particular roles (i.e. stem cells)
Differentiated Cells are the cells that is “specialized” after receiving an electrical signal from the body. So these cells only have one role for each. (i.e. muscle cell cannot work as a bone cell…)
I know it is not enough, but I wish it helps understanding the basics..!
Answer:
The main difference between differentiated and undifferentiated cells is that differentiated cells are specialized cells to perform a unique function in the body whereas undifferentiated cells are responsible for replenishing old, injured or dead cells. Furthermore, differentiated cells usually do not undergo proliferation while undifferentiated cells are capable of self-renewing by proliferation and differentiation into differentiated cells.
