Yes, a stalagmite can break due to various factors such as physical disturbances, seismic activity, or changes in the cave environment. Stalagmites are formed from mineral deposits dripping down from the ceiling of a cave over thousands of years, so they can be fragile and susceptible to damage. Once broken, a stalagmite can continue to grow if the conditions are right, but it will take a long time to reach its former size.

Can a stalactite become a stalagmite?
No, a stalactite may not become a stalagmite in any meaningful sense. Calcite-- the mineral both stalactites and stalagmites are made from-- is not flexible or sticky enough to survive a fall and adhere to the ground more or less intact. However, a stalactite may break and fall to the ground, becoming the foundation for a new stalagmite if there is calcite laden water dripping on the point where the stalactite rests. Given enough time, if a stalactite does not break, it will "grow" into its corresponding stalagmite, creating a column. they can become a combination of the two though https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150590970190519&set=a.10150590967785519.435379.639145518&type=3&theater
