Has anyone ever seen a kohlrabi regrow like this before?

Verona, PA(Zone 6b)

The first week I put out my cauliflower and kohlrabi seedlings, I had something come through and take a bite. I had cayenne pepper on the foliage though, so it didn't destroy everything or come back. Four of the plants were chomped up pretty badly to the point where I couldn't even tell if they were cauliflower or kohlrabi anymore, but I left them in the soil to see what would happen. Two of the chomped up plants - one with even less leaves left on it than this one - have started "resprouting" in an odd way. It's almost like the root system started sending up new plants - some where the original was, and some up to several inches away. I can't find anything about this through my internet searching - has anyone ever seen this before?

Thanks! :)

yes, it is normal.
If the plant has good weather condition it will keep sending out sprouts.
You could use the baby leaves in your salad.
Happy gardening !
