Morphology

undried = dried (transparent) = un + dry + ed

The meaning is a straightforward negation: 'un-' + 'dried' = not dried (still wet), which is directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

The word undried starts with the small word un- meaning 'not' and the word dry, so it literally means 'not dry' and is used for something still wet or moist.
