It looks to me like Strawberry runners. The 'nodes' on them are the beginning of new strawberry plants.
I usually press them in a small pot with compost and once they are rooted and have a reasonable size I cut them from the main plant. I only keep one 'node' per runner and maximum 2 or 3 runners per plant (depending on how strong the 'mother'plant is).
