Stalagmites are formed on the floor or ground of the cave and are spikes facing upward.

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.
it is formed by the droplets falling from the stalactites in the ceiling of the cave.
condensation from the ceiling drops water onto the ground and over the years it drops more and more water and the water dries and the minerals in it build up until it rises out of the ground .... stalagmites are rare as they come from the ground ... normally you find stalactites

iec that comes from the roof

stalagmites
stalactites and stalagmites are sedimentary rock becausethey are made from sediment that as formed together. just like how igneous rock is formed by lava or magma that has cooled over time.
No. Stalactites and stalagmites are formed from minerals, brought down from the rocks above by water.

Stalactites and stalagmites are two common features formed by deposition in caves. Stalactites hang from the ceiling and are formed by the dripping of mineral-rich water, while stalagmites form on the cave floor as the same dripping water evaporates, leaving behind mineral deposits.
Calcite, usually, from the limestone above the cave. (Or gypsum, if the cave is in that rock)
