I could be very wrong but it also almost looks like a sort of aloe that’s been kept in dark conditions sometimes they respond by darkening and multiplying (basically doing what it can to form more light-receiving cells)

There are apps you can download that if you take a pic of the plant, it will help identify it! Maybe you can try that?

OKAY ONE MORE NOTE, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND DONT MOVE IT TO TOO MUCH LIGHT TOO QUICKLY BECAUSE IT CAN SHOCK THE CELLS IT’S FORMED AND POTENTIALLY BURN IT

Subtle changes will be best, try putting it near the edge of the windowsill or somewhere a few inches away so it gets maybe 1-2 more hours of sunlight than it has been, wait awhile, then it may be ready to get more direct sun (sorry if I sound really overzealous & nerdy I just really want to try and help!)
