It’s definitely roots

You can chop \& prop. I’d probably do it in water..

Yep, air roots! Chass is right. Trim the dead parts and put the roots in water. A bit of TLC and soon you will get to brag about a beautiful “new” Katy.

thats crazy, i’ve never had a plant grow roots outside of soil or water before, its so cool! 😁 thank you so much!

a lot of plants will do this as a stress response — all is not lost!
