Do anyone know what this is on the underside stem of my monstera? And is it normal/okay for it to be there?

This is corking and pretty normal for monstera especially as they mature. Signs of growing and wanting to support itself!

yes since monstera have such mobile leaves they’ll develop a bit of scarring where the petiole (leaf stem) bends and moves over time
