Which slender conical speleothem grows from water dripping from the ceiling of cavern?

The slender conical speleothem that grows from water dripping from the ceiling of a cavern is called a stalactite. These formations occur when mineral-rich water drips from the cave ceiling, leaving behind mineral deposits as the water evaporates. Over time, these deposits accumulate, creating the characteristic elongated shape of stalactites. They often hang down from the cave ceiling, resembling icicles.
