Could this start growing?

It is the stem /trunk area of a tropical fern tree. I've never heard of a dead section of trunk coming back to life.

Unless there is some live rhizome attached I dont think so.

No live rhizome attached, I'm asking because there is some light green roots like extruding from it

If from out of country it was probably fumigated mercilessly before import and all so would be surprised if any life there

Bunch of these are comin out..?

Looks like algae, or something that contaminated the slab.

Dammit, hope it's not fern seed

Troy, that is part of the root system of the fern. It's dead and will not grow gain.

 

[cnycharles]

It wouldn't be germinating tree fern spores, I think any drying would kill them. Might be other seed, or perhaps some fungi

If it was not fumigated or heat sterilized this is what can happen even if it was dried. But it's not so bad they are all good natural plants.

Thats cool lance, time will tell what it is, maybe beneficial?

If it's not beneficial pull it off.
In the meantime enjoy seeing what it turns into!
