The result is called a "column".
a column
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form a column.
The joining of a stalactite and stalagmite is called a column. It forms when the two mineral deposits meet and grow together over time in a cave.
If you mean the result of them meeting, tip to tip, as they grow, then thickening from that as a single shaft of calcite from roof to floor, the result is a "Column".
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral-rich water drips from the ceiling and deposits mineral material that builds up from the ground.

column. A column is formed when a stalactite and stalagmite grow long enough to meet and fuse together, creating a pillar-like structure in a cave.
Yes, a stalactite can grow without a corresponding stalagmite below it. If there is a river flowing under the water seeping through the rock, the stalactite will grow while the river will sweep away the mineral rich water.
When a stalactite and stalagmite meet, they form a column or pillar.
A stalactite is a structure that hangs from the ceiling of a cave and is formed by minerals dripping down, while a stalagmite is a structure that rises from the floor of a cave and is formed by minerals deposited from drips falling from the stalactite. When a stalactite and a stalagmite eventually meet and grow together, they form a column.
When a stalactite and stalagmite join, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when mineral deposits from dripping water from the stalactite unite with the mineral deposits growing up from the stalagmite, eventually creating a solid column structure.
A dripstone column forms when a stalactite and and a stalagmite join together.
When a stalagmite and a stalactite meet, they form a column or pillar. This occurs when a stalactite hanging from the ceiling and a stalagmite growing up from the floor merge together over time, creating a solid structure in a cave.
