Should I bury the stem up a half inch the next time I repot my avocado? The plant is starting to get wobbly and there are little bumps there, which have been suggested before as baby roots on another post.

Is this an avocado.

Yes

It might be a insect or fungal infection.

Burying over the seed seems to be a preference thing. The store near me sells these in water or soil. And some are fully buried, most aren't. I wouldn't see how it'd effect growth. They have some 2'+ that look just like yours, not fully buried
