Trim the bottom where the black is and dip in some root powder. Roots will come out of there too. And not just your node.

It’s fine. A little bit of black is normal, just dead tissue from the cut, as long as it’s firm and not mushy. If does worry you carefully cut it again, dip in sulfur and let callous over night while keeping the root in water.
