the phenomenon where living differentiated cells, which have lost the capacity to divide, regain the capacity of division under certain conditions is termed as dedifferentiation. An example given is the formation of meristems like interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells . In contrast, differentiation is the process where cells mature to perform specific functions , and redifferentiation occurs when dedifferentiated cells once again lose the capacity to divide and mature .
