I know nothing about them either but i just had to say that I think that is so cool!! Maybe you cut it off and it will grow another one? Lovely plant by the way :)

It's a bulbil, a clone of the parent plant growing on an inflorescence. Some plants do this often, others not so much. You can remove it from the inflorescence and pot it soon. The genus is spelled Haworthia.

Thanks Brad!

To plant the bulbil, should it be cut off and completely buried in soil? Or only partially buried?

And the remaining stalk should be trimmed as far back as I can cut it?

Cut off a couple of inches of the stalk and put the plant so the the bottom leaves are on top of the soil and the stalk just under. Then mist lightly every couple of days until you see new growth and the plant has roots. You don't need to rush into it, but at some point the inflorescence will start to dry up and the baby will have to come off. It may grow roots before that happens. I never cut back inflorescences because the water and nutrients in them will be resorbed and recycled. It can be easily removed when completely dry by gently tugging on it. Happy growing!

If I may suggest - you may be able to correct spelling of your post title; go to your original message, click on 'edit' and see if the title will correct. The body of the message will, for a while - I am not sure for how long after original posting.

No edit option, sorry. I'm stuck exposing my ignorance of succulents on the internet FOREVER :-(

This is so cool! I have the exact same plant and I hope my does this too
