It looks like the soil u have it in might be it or you need to give it a little less light and more water

It looks like a watering issue, too much or too little. It’s hard to tell from the photo. Overwatering will make the seedling turn mushy and limp from rot. Excess soil dries too slowly adding to the rot. Under watering dehydrates it.

I suggest using a small seed starter pot with a clear covering to keep the humidity higher. Seedlings do better in bright indirect light with warmer temperatures. You might try a thermal mat under the seed pots to stimulate the roots. 🪴🍀

Looks like a combination of root rot (likely caused by too much extra soil) and dehydration. Pour a little bit of hydrogen peroxide in near the roots, let it sit for a few minutes, then water it. Be careful about how often you water because the sides and bottom will stay much wetter than near the seedling (normally I'd suggest a pot downsize but this one's so young that a move might be hard on its roots)
