One grows up from the cave floor, the other hangs down from the cave roof. To remember which is which:-
A "stalagmite" might reach the the top (grows up from the cave floor).
A "stalactite" has to hang on "tight" (hangs down from the cave roof).

Another one is "G for Ground, C for Ceiling". Their location is the only difference; they are both formations of precipitated calcite (calcium carbonate).

What will form when a stalactite and stalagmite joined?

When a stalactite and a stalagmite joined what is formed?
When a stalactite and a stalagmite meet and eventually connect, they form a column or pillar. This occurs through the continuous dripping of mineral-rich water from the stalactite onto the stalagmite below, resulting in the build-up of minerals and the eventual formation of a column.

What is the technical name for the joining of a stalactite and stalagmite?
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.
Stalactite and stalagmite when they grow together?
When a stalactite and stalagmite grow together, they form a column. This happens when water dripping from a stalactite reaches the floor and the mineral deposits from the water build up to create the stalagmite. Over time, the two formations can merge to become a solid column.
