Im new to this process. My neighbor gave me a cutting from his fig tree. He suggested that I start in water. I used rooting powder and placed it in water which i change 2-3 days. It's been about a week and I noticed these white cylinder growth on the stem below the water. I initially assumed it was roots however after reading a few posts on Reddit, others mentioned fungus, larva, or mold. I don't want to negatively effect the propionation by removing these.
Does anyone know what this is?

Not trying to be a smart alleck here, but you’re propagating a plant. You have applied a product to it and submerged it in water. My best guess is the white things on the stem are roots starting to form.
Yes, beginning stages of roots. do not remove
