According to Wikipedia, below:
"Stalactites are formed by the deposition of calcium carbonate and other minerals, which is precipitated from mineralized water solutions. Limestone is the chief form of calcium carbonate rock which is dissolved by water that contains carbon dioxide, forming a calcium bicarbonate solution in underground caverns."
When stalactites and stalagmites join it is called a column
The stalactites hang from the ceiling, and the stalagmites are on the ground.
stalagmites & stalactites are examples of a chemical sedimentary rock
yes but there are not called stalagmites and stalactites there are called speleothems
Stalactites and stalagmites are classified as precipitates, a type of chemical sedimentary rock. Yes, rocks can grow like stalactites and stalagmites.
Stalactites and stalagmites are found in limestone caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and stalagmites come up from the ground.

Stalactites and stalagmites are corresponding rock formations , stalactites being the ones on the roof of the cave and stalagmites the ones on the cave floor. Why are they formed? They are formed because water leaking into the caves craves out the rocks slowly into stalagmites and stalactites.
No. Only living organisms have cells. Although stalagmites and stalactites appear to grow, it is not due to the reproduction of cells or living organisms. Stalagmites and stalactites are composed of atoms which are connected into molecules. They are made of the same things as any other rock.
Stalactites have to hold on tight. Stalagmites might reach the roof.
Stalactites and stalagmites are normally made up from a mineral called Calcite.
No, they are made from minerals leached out of the earth by water.
