Whats this guy growing in my PWP?

This little shoot has been growing up into this cataphyll since its leaf opened, whatโ€™s it deal? I havenโ€™t noticed it on any of the others and it doesnโ€™t look like an aerial root. Is it just shooting out a new, wiggly leaf? #Philodendron #philodendronwhiteprincess
6ft to light, direct
5โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 8 months ago
It looks like a new leaf/stem!?
@PlantJedi thatโ€™s what I was thinking too, I just didnโ€™t even realized one growth point could produce two different stems?? Iโ€™m new to philodendrons in general, I rescued this one from a box store two months ago while she had a fungal infection and several rotting leaves. I donโ€™t know if itโ€™s relevant, but the fresh growth is growing along the cataphyll of a leaf that was damaged long before it came into my possession and one of the only remaining leaves from the original bunch
It may be a little damaged from whatever it went through previously, however Iโ€™m guessing itโ€™s a new leaf and/or an air root - occasionally mine willl grow an air root from a leaf like that.
