Oligodendrocytes are unipolar.

No, interneurons are typically multipolar, meaning they have multiple processes extending from the cell body. They function to integrate and relay signals within the central nervous system.
Neurons are classified into different types based on their structure as follows: multipolar neurons with many dendrites and a single axon, bipolar neurons with one dendrite and one axon, and unipolar neurons with a single process extending from the cell body that branches into dendrites and an axon.
Neurons can be classified structurally as either multipolar, bipolar, or unipolar. Functionally, neurons can be classified as either sensory, motor, or interneurons based on their role in transmitting and processing sensory information, controlling motor movements, or connecting neurons within the central nervous system, respectively.
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.

Neurons are grouped structurally according to the number of processes extending from their cell body.

Unipolar, multipolar and pseudo-unipolar
Neurons with two processes are classified as bipolar neurons.
