Yes. That can be reburied when you transplant to a bigger pot. Just bury the curved part and bam, straight stem.

I would firstly fill that pot up with dirt and make sure she keeps going. It's not over till it's over.

I'll definitely do that, thank you for the help, I was really anxious since this seed is the only one I have, if it is broken though, how long do you think before it would wilt?

You will know fairly quickly. I thought I broke one recently but I covered it up nicely and propped it up for a week a it is as strong as the others now. Hope it turns out well!

if she dryes in 24 hours you killed her if she doesnt she still has a connection and will repair herselfe.
allsoo try to give her more light she is streching like crazy
maybe give her cloning conditions high humidity if she is broken soo new roots can come out before she drys out

This happens all the time with seedlings. You can use toothpicks and breadties to correct it early off just gotta remember to remove the bread ties or very loosely tie them so the plant doesn't grow into it.
It'll grow fine but looks mega stretchy. Are you giving it synthetic light or only light in the window?

I had put it on my table in my room thinking it wouldn't sprout so fast and that it was safe for me to go visit family for a few days, I was wrong lol

thanks for the advice!! I'm new to all this and didn't know that would help, last time I tried planting I think damping off killed my saplings

Ok so it's been about 24 hours since it happened, it seems to be still standing, no signs of wilt or anything yet.
