You’re looking at the pedicel I believe is what you are concerned about.

Yes the pedicel is a normal anatomical feature! Nothing to worry about at all !
Fun fact, pedicel flexibility is used in some web weavers to aid in accurately attaching web lines. A pretty sophisticated neurological and neuromuscular operation. Almost amazingly, some plants utilize a very similar function, flowers turning towards sunlight or in folding leaves at certain times.
