1' Plant split at base into two

As I prepared to move a plant I'd been growing into it's own DWC bucket from a bucket with 3 other plants, the stem snapped in two down the middle.

Oh No! That was the biggest and healthiest plant in the veg room! It was in perfect health, and as soon as I changed the angle of the plant, the stem snapped in two where it had rotted. It was one of two seeds of unknown but supposedly impressive genetics given as a gift and I don't want to lose it if it can be saved. There were no symptoms until it broke and I didn't see the rotten part as it was just slightly above the level of the hydroton rocks.

It's branches might be just a little too young to clone. It's about a foot tall.

I think it's been severed from it's entire root system, it's started to wilt severely and I think that I should make a clean cut and try to grow back the roots in pure water, maybe with some of this hydroguard I have here or some cloning gel. The stem is maybe 3/5" thick. I've only successfully cloned a plant once.

What should I do? I have other plants but if this one can be saved, I'd like to do so.

Thanks in advance for your prompt response.
