If a stalactite and a stalagmite joined it would form a column.
When a stalactite and stalagmite meet, they form a column or pillar.
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.
When a stalagmite and stalactite meet and grow together, they form 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.
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".

it is when a stalactite and a stalagmite are joined as one. +++ Correct, but I do love that wording - sounds as if they've married!

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.
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.
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.
It can be seen that the stalactite has united with the stalagmite below
