Of course she did, she's mom! LOL!
I love that! Moms' are a unique kind of special.
In the fall I dug my pineapple plant out of the compost where it had rooted (accidently) and thrived. Dug it out so it could overwinter in the greenhouse.
After reading some bromeliad tips, I put it in a container of moist sphagnum moss and kept the moss damp.
A couple of weeks ago I removed it to replant in the same compost bed. I was shocked at how developed and healthy the root system looked.
So far the plant doesn't appear to be protesting being back in the ground.
I have tossed a couple more pineapple tops in the compost bed and am patiently waiting to see if they will root also.
