For my mother who passed away in 2022, I have interest income of $295.81. Do I still need to file for this amount?

Is there a need to file taxes for less than $300.00 in interest income for my deceased mother who passed in 2022?

You should not file another tax return return for your mother.  No income received after the date of their death should be reported by or for a decedent.  It is either reported by the estate or if no estate is established, then by the person or persons who have the right to the income.  If you are the one who is entitled to the interest, you should report it on your tax return.
