those are roots!! it doesnt really mean anything, but it tends to happen with succulants that have etoliated (stretched, looking for light) like yours has.  
you can chop and prop if you want - cut below the roots and pop them in the soil! you can leave the tall stalks, as they will grow more pups for you! (pic is of one of my succs that ive propped)  
these guys look a little underwatered, so if your pot has drainage give it a good soaking. if it doesnt, i would highly recommend repotting to help prevent root rot, but if you have a system figured out you can def stick with it :)
