Had it had any unprotected sexual contact recently? Should get tested.

They are called adventitious roots, my understanding is they are normal in tomatoes but are typically a response to some kind of water related stress… Google has a lot of info about it
Overwatering. Tomatoes need far less water than we force on them, especially if they’re in the ground.

This happened to my tomatoes last year. It was an insanely wet and humid season. I have never experienced so much mould… but I digress… the other posts are correct, they are roots. It didn’t cause me any issues, thought the constant rain and humidity did.
Tomatoes vine and throw down roots where ever the stems touch the ground. If the stems stay damp it seems to trigger similar and they send out roots.
