looks like your aloe is trying to climb and propagate itself. i’m pretty sure that’s an aerial root starting

Ok thank you so should I put a board under it to help?

it’s hard to say for sure what will work without seeing the whole plant. regardless, i personally would propagate the portion of stem that is growing roots. cut below (well, above— closer to the main root system and pot) the node that is growing roots, peel a few lower leaves away so a portion of the stem can be buried, then prop it up in an empty vase and wait patiently for more roots to grow, then plant in moist soil either with the main plant or on its own. once calloused and planted, succulent propagations can be treated just like their parents— water when the soil is totally dry and provide with plenty of light ☀️
