I don’t know. I think the little pineapple come from the center of the plant. This plant looks it’s been quite damaged. But try chat GP. Or AI. There are other places to look. Try putting in pineapple in your search engine and look at some real pineapple plants compare tip what you’ve got. Could interrupting. You can also show google the picture and see what it says. Also photo to chat GPT.

I believe this may be some type of aloe vera plant, based on the small serrations 'teeth' along the leaf edges and what looks like aloe gel on one of the leafs in the 1st pic.

Looks like a snake plant to me. 😊
