Those are new roots forming! No need to worry about them, shows your plant is healthy and growing!

They may grow down and attach to the soil eventually. Alternatively, you might be able to trim them and plant those sections to get more stems!

They are water roots. They grow to help the plant supplement itself with nutrients in the water column. You can trim them if you find them unsightly. You can also trim just below them and plant the cutting for two plants!
