In particular, plasmoids have an ability to squeeze through small openings and an ability to create limbs (arms and legs) for themselves.

Druid Wildshape indicates that -while in beast form- you retain racial features and can use them "if the new form is physically capable of doing so."

My initial thought was that a plasmoid in beast form would not be able to sprout hands because that's not something an animal is physically capable of doing.

However, I think the "physically capable..." language is more for things like trying to use hands to hold something while in a form which does not have hands.

Another example would be that the tabaxi speed boost still works while in beast form, but arakocra's flight does not (unless in a form with wings). Eladrian feystep likewise still works.

I am also not exactly sure how to determine the physical limitations of generated blobby limbs.

So, what do you think?

Which plasmoid abilities still function in wildshape?
