I think my seedling is dying
because I've noticed it was stretching a lot so I decided to carefully
dig it up and bury it deeper only when i thought i had created enough
soil space to pull it out I heard snaps and realized I had broken
the developing roots at the bottom of the tap root.
I immediately noticed a slight decrease in steam rigidity and then later on, as I was monitoring it, it had started to droop over, but,
only at the top inch, the leaves were fine until now (3hrs later) but
now I noticed the first set, after the initial round ones, are becoming
a little wilty as well.
What do you suggest I do? So far I've propped it on toothpicks I've buried in the soil in an X position to support the plant on top of
the X.

Next time, if you think your seedling is too stretched, you should simply add soil right up the the cotyledons. Never try to dig up a seedling unless you have a compelling reason to do so (=you have planted it in MG soil lol), and you should never have a reason to do so if you do a bit of poking around. Start with the manual linked in my signature- it's VERY VERY basic.
