Calcium carbonate deposits on cave floors build up stalactites?

They do - among other related formation such as layers generally called "flowstone", and "gours", which are natural calcite weirs creating a staircase or pools.
Also, rarer, "cave pearls" which are ooids of calcite around sand grains or similar, and "mud roses", caused by dripping water creating a funnel-shaped hollow in a mud floor, then lining the hollow with precipitated calcite.

Are stalagmites and stalagtites the same thing?
Nearly. Same material and process - precipitation of dissolved calcium carbonate - but stalagmites grow up form cave floors ("g" for ground) and stalactites grow down from the roof ("c" in the middle of the word, not "g", and stands for ceiling").
Is this statement correct Stalagmites form on the ceiling of a cavern?
No, it is stalactites that form on the ceilings. Stalagmites form on the cavern floors.
Is stalactite an adjective?
No. Stalactite is a noun. It is a formation in caves and other stone structures that hangs from the ceiling and that resembles an icicle. Stalagmites are the related formations that form on the floors of caves, usually right below stalactites. How do you remember which is which? Stalactite has a 'c' for ceiling, and stalagmite has a 'g' for ground.

Does calcium carbonate deposit on cave floors that build stalactites?
Yes
How do you remove calcium carbonate from limestone floors?
Limestone is calcium carbonate. If you have a spill of calcium carbonate on the surface try brushing or polishing the floor.

What are formations found on the floors cave?
The formations are called stalactites and stalagmites.
What is the chemical composition of chalk?
Chalk is mostly calcium carbonate, with the formula CaCo3. It is formed from the crushed bodies of tiny sea creatures, which over eons collected as sediment on sea floors, was uplifted, then worn away by erosion and weathering. Chemically speaking, calcium carbonate is the union of the alkaline earth metal calcium and the polyatomic carbonate ion.
Is this statement correct Stalagmites form on the ceiling of a cavern?
No, it is stalactites that form on the ceilings. Stalagmites form on the cavern floors.

What rock forms most caves and caverns?
The cave itself of course, as a geological entity.In limestone:The rock's internal structures such as its bedding-planes, joints, folds, faults and any fossils (since most caves are in limestone).Precipitated calcium-carbonate 'speleothems' (stalactites, stalagmites and related formations)Sediment banks - laboratory analysis which can give a lot of information on the cave's own development, palaeoclimate, etc (ditto with speleothems).In lava caves:The rock itself, and stalactite-like formations from lava dripping before it solidified.By the way, why has Answers logged this as being in "Geology, Labour and Birth, Speleology"? I never realised human reproductive biology is a topic within karst geology!
