I guess a stalactite and a stalagmite could be referenced to a column. Although, only some could be considered column-like.
Stalactites hang from the ceiling and only on occasion do they ever reach the ground. I, myself have toured some caves and have witnessed stalactites reaching the ground, so in that way they could be referenced to a column. But the majority of them, that don't reach the ground, aren't very column-like.
Same goes with stalagmites, but these protrude from the ground, rather than hanging from the ceiling. I've never personally seen a stalagmite that has reached the ceiling of a cave and resembled a column. But I wouldn't doubt that there are a few out there.
So basically in conclusion, the majority of stalagmites and stalactites are not similar to columns. But the few that can go to cave floor to ceiling can resemble a column.
Hope this helps! Stay safe and stay healty! :3
It can help the reader read between the lines and figure out thing they wouldn't have if they weren't close reading. You could also pick up on hidden messages that the author might have wanted you to find.
Dose this help you?

The following is an example of a good topic for a how-to essay:
C. A task that you can perform easily and expertly.
Proper and deep knowledge about the task/topic is crucial for a how-to essay. Prior and extensive knowledge makes essays that are more interesting and/or useful to the potential readers, but it also reduces the difficulty of the writing process, as the topic will be something you can communicate better due to experience/expertise.
I believe they would consider the mood, tone, and <span>connotation</span>.
