Agreed, roots it is. Why might be because it's real damp up top. I've had cuttings take root sitting in water.

Yep, definitely roots. It's more common to see that on tomatoes but peppers do it too.

if you will notice, the new "roots" are growing out of the stem below where your cotyledons were and above that, no roots...that is a good indicator of how deep you should plant your seedlings when you transplant...that is the "mark" I use for depth when I transplant...
