No. Stalactite is a noun. It is a formation in caves and other stone structures that hangs from the ceiling and that resembles an icicle. Stalagmites are the related formations that form on the floors of caves, usually right below stalactites. How do you remember which is which? Stalactite has a 'c' for ceiling, and stalagmite has a 'g' for ground.
