Answer:

Stalactites grow down from the cave ceiling, while stalagmites grow up from the cave floor. ... As the carbon dioxide is released, calcite is precipitated (redeposited) on cave walls, ceilings and floors. As the redeposited minerals build up after countless water drops, a stalactite is formed.
