Why does the stump protrude after umbilical cord falls off?
The developing fetus is changing in size and shape, some more than others. Since it is not directly attached to the uterine wall, it can move about within the amniotic fluid of the womb, and can assume a variety of orientations. The umbillical cord has to be able to remain connected despite these positional changes, and to provide oxygen to the fetus as it moves outward through the birth canal during labor. Once the baby leaves the womb, the umbilical cord is cut, and the remaining cord is removed (part of the afterbirth).
