outgrowths
Things that develop
Outgrowths are things that grow out from something else.
A branch is an outgrowth of a tree trunk; a wart is an outgrowth on skin.
The word extends to abstract development: The labor movement was an outgrowth of industrial capitalism.
An outgrowth emerges naturally from what preceded it, suggesting organic connection rather than deliberate creation.
