Alberta spruce problem

I have a 10 year old Alberta spruce and it has a different pine branch growing out if it. It’s not next to it but growing from it. How does this happen?

Sometimes plants revert to the rootstock plant or parent plant. I’d cut the odd branch out

This is a stem that has reverted back to a parent stock. Prune it from your tree.
