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.
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.

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

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.
