I was wonder how secure are the connections between the Plex server and the Plex client? I was wondering since my kids some time uses Plex IOS client while on a public WiFi.

Connections between clients and your server are encrypted using the TLS standard.  
Unless you disable ‘Secure Connections’ on your server.
