spike? and leaf questions

[mattryan]

Hello all i am uploading 2 new pictures of the noid that i wasn't sure if it was growing a root or spike. I think that it is a spike, but what is it doing at the top of it, It doesn't look anything like a mitten? Or do different varieties produce different looking spikes? My next question is my noid started growing a leaf then stopped and started another one..will they both grow, it looks like it's stopped growing. Thankyou all!
