Immature cells that have the potential to develop into many, but not all, classes of mature cells are called pluripotent. The term "pluri" means many, which implies that the cells have the ability to differentiate into many different cell types, but not all (that would be totipotent). Ependymal cells are a type of glial cell in the brain and spinal cord, ventricular refers to the fluid-filled spaces in the brain, and multipolar refers to neurons with multiple processes extending from the cell body.
