Stalagmite
01
a cone-shaped mineral formation rising from the floor of a cave or underground structure, formed by the deposition of minerals from dripping water containing dissolved substances

Caves exhibit stalagmites, which grow upward from the cave floor due to mineral-rich water dripping from above.
Stalagmites often mirror the formations of stalactites, creating complementary structures within caves.
