A plane mirror is flat, so light doesn’t go reflecting in different directions. That is what makes it undistorted. No, it is not true.

Answer:

The image formed by a plane mirror is always virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image), upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location from which the light rays appear to come.

Also Its not true mirrors do show different shapes and sizes
