Not really sure what you mean, but if you are referring to calcite formations on the cave roof, they are called "stalactites".
A deposit on the roof of a cave is typically referred to as a stalactite, which is a mineral formation hanging from the ceiling that is formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water. Stalactites are a common feature in caves and can vary in size and shape depending on the minerals present in the water dripping from the cave ceiling.
stalactite
The roof of a cave is referred to as the "ceiling" or "overhang".
Stalactites form at the roof of the cave. These are mineral deposits that hang from the ceiling and are typically made of calcium carbonate. They form as water containing dissolved minerals drips from the roof and the minerals gradually accumulate over time, creating the elongated formations known as stalactites.
Stalactites are the formations that grow downwards from the roof or top of a cave due to mineral-laden water dripping through the cave's ceiling.
No, a stalagmite forms on the cave floor when mineral-rich water drips and deposits sediment, creating a mound-like structure. On the other hand, a stalactite hangs from the cave's ceiling as mineral deposits accumulate and form a tapering, icicle-like shape.

This is called a "Stalactite"
They are formed by the deposit of minerals. They are left behind by evaporation.
Stalactites are found hanging from the roof of a cave, as opposed to stalagmites, which grow up from the floor. Remembering the difference is easy - stalactites are "tite" to the ceiling!
That's called a stalagmite. A similar object descending from the roof of a cave = is a stalactite.
Stalactites are the ones that hang from the roof; the ones that grow up from the floor are called stalagmites.

The roof of a cave is referred to as the "ceiling" or "overhang".
stalactites are a deposit, usually of calcium carbonate, shaped like an icicle,hanging from the roof of a cave or the like, and formed by thedripping of percolating calcareous water.
This type of deposit is called a stalactite. Stalactites are made up of calcium deposits from the runoff water coming into the cave.
