RELAX... the stem will be white at first and look just like the root. Everything will be fine if you just let it go. You are in for a LONG grow if you are already freaking out about this. The cracked seed stays on the top and out of the soil until the cotyledons (*first baby leaves) open and drop the shell. you can pull it off with tweezers but i would just let it fall naturally

For future referance try planting the seed root tip up. I have done it root tip down my whole life until recently I was told to do it root tip up and the results are great but you should be okay it usually finds it's way out of the soil within a few days and the seed will pop off.
