Hair-like protrusions from stems of Sedum Rubrotinctum (Jelly Bean Plant)

I've just noticed that my Sedum Rubrotinctum (Jelly Bean Plant) seems to have sprouted some white, hair-like protrusions from some of its stems, as shown in the photos.

The only way I can think to describe them, apart from hair-like, is that they're like tiny roots, but growing out of the stem. Does anyone know what these are, and is this normal behaviour for a S. Rubrotinctum?

Thanks,

Indeed tiny roots.

Normal behaviour.
Quite typical of many plants that reproduce easily from cuttings, like this Sedum.

Thanks, that's reassuring. Do I need to do anything with the plant, or just leave it to it?

Thanks,

No need to do anything, it's fine as it is.
