Does anyone knows what is this on my air plant? It looks like a root, but I have never seen this before

Yeah it’s a root. I have some that came with a bunch of roots and some that just started growing one after more than a year. I don’t know the rhyme or reason lol. But I think in nature they would use them to anchor to tree bark
