A rogue root!

About 3 months ago, I noticed a small protusion on the trunk of my ficus. It looked like a root so I let it be. Indeed, it was a root growing further up the trunk. I’m putting it down to the fact I was using Rhizotonic on some of my plants and decided to — for reasons yet known to me — add some to my bonsai on a couple of waterings.
As you can see, it has grown a fair bit. I thought it would have fallen off by now. It has dried out quite a bit, but I might just let it fall naturally rather than cut it off.
(Excuse the white crust of water residue, haven’t cleaned this off yet).

That is what they do perfectly normal. If you don't want it cut it off
