True or False

Dripstones hanging from a cave ceiling are called stalagmites.

That's false! Dripstones hanging from a cave ceiling are called stalactites (think 'T' for top/ceiling). Stalagmites (think 'M' for ground) are instead the dripstones that grow up from the cave floor. Both form very slowly from minerals left behind when water drips through the rock.
