AI says: The little white things on your friend's plant appear to be \*\*aerial roots\*\* or \*\*root primordia\*\*, which some plants develop along their stems as part of their natural growth. Certain plants, especially trailing or vining types, produce these roots to help them anchor and absorb moisture from the air or surrounding surfaces.

However, it’s also possible that they could be \*\*pests\*\* like spider mites or mealybugs if they look more like small clusters or cotton-like substances. To determine which, gently touch them:  
\- If they are \*\*roots\*\*, they should feel solid and be connected to the stem.  
\- If they are \*\*pests\*\*, they may feel soft, fall off easily, or look like tiny insects.

If you're unsure or concerned they might be pests, examine the plant closely for other signs of infestation (such as sticky residue, tiny webs, or damage to the leaves) and treat the plant accordingly.
