Does anyone know what these things are growing from my Alocasia?

Possibly a corm, my silver dragon has a few growing above the soil.

This is probably the dumbest question, but what is a corm?

Not at all, this is a plant app after all. A corm is similar to a bulb or rhizome, they grow from the mother plant and they store nutrients. You can leave them be or remove them and propagate, they eventually grow into new baby plants
