Apparently I'm not getting notifications of replies .....
So I thought it was a root, but it remains green when I get a little water on it (it doesn't have the obvious white root sheath). The picture is really how it continues to look.
I'm going to treat it like a root, though, until I see otherwise.
Since the plant is in rough shape, I wanted to address if it needed additional care if it were a spike and not a root, but I think Roberta's message is sage.
As far as the media, it's actually been recently repotted and taken out of some old media and rotted roots dealt with. With its current state, I don't want to destabilize it. Let it rest.
It's got a long road to recovery. Thanks for everyone's advice!
