Can stalagmites and stalactites grow under water?

Stalagmites and stalactites typically form in caves through the deposition of minerals from dripping water, but they do not grow underwater in the same way. When submerged, the conditions for their formation, such as evaporation and air exposure, are not present. However, similar formations can occur underwater, known as underwater stalagmites and stalactites, but they develop through different processes, often involving sediment accumulation or mineral precipitation from water currents.
