no its not it is sedimentary rock
If a stalactite and a stalagmite joined it would form a column.
stalagmite
Stalagmite: A Stalagmite is a rock formation that has been formed by the dripping of water from the ceiling of a cavern for thousands of million of years creating a pointed rock, thick at the base and thinner at the top. Stalagmites are on the floors of caves. Stalactite: A stalactite forms the same way as a stalagmite except that it is attached to the ceiling instead of the ground

It can be seen that the stalactite has united with the stalagmite below

stalactite.... the one that formed below it is called stalagmite...
It's a stalactite that hangs from the ceiling.
a pillar!
Yes, a stalactite can grow without a corresponding stalagmite below it. If there is a river flowing under the water seeping through the rock, the stalactite will grow while the river will sweep away the mineral rich water.
No, a stalagmite rises from the floor. A stalactite hangs from the roof
