Torn off taproot seedling

Hi.

The tap root was torn off few days ago on my auto seedling in dwc. There is another root about the same length coming out from the net pot and plenty more shorter roots to.

Will this have any negative effect or will the other roots just "replace" the taproot?

If the roots are still growing, it should be fine. It'll probably stunt it a couple days while the roots adjust to the damage, but it shouldn't effect the plant itself.
