What is this?

This is on my Tomatillo plants and i haven't got a clue what it is. Not sure if it is just a split limb or something growing on it.

Perhaps a scar from rubbing on the cage. I often see a bit of damage on my tomato plants where a branch scrapes across the cage either from growth or from the wind. Rarely does it do any harm.

If you're referring to the white growths on the large stem I'd suggest they are what's called adventitious roots, more common on a central stem near the bottom, but can be up higher.

Nothing to worry about if that's what they are,

Just roots. Mine did that too.

I have some kind of eggs in little bowls or nests underneath 1 of my tomato plants on the ground. Does anyone know what they are. They are in clusters all around that 1 plant.

Those "eggs in bowls" are bird's nest fungus. Degrades dead organic stuff. Interesting but not a problem.
