That stem looks kinda shriveled. Which could probably mean it has root rot or has completely dried out. That said, plants can be amazingly resilient. If it were my plant, I’d dig it up to look at the root system. If there’s any white or healthy roots, you may have a chance. If they’re all dead, it’s a good time to go plant shopping!

Agree with Harris. You can also shave a tiny bit of them stem at the base and see if it’s green or not.
