It looks like it’s standing in water in the picture. You’re drowning it that way. It doesn’t need much water initially, only high humidity. You achieve that by placing a plastic cup over it like a dome. At that stage, the plant absorbs water from the air with its leaves because the roots still need to grow.

It could be rotten where it touches the soil (there is a term for it, I’m just a stoner and it’s not coming to mind). It’s caused from keeping the soil too moist in the seedling stage. For a seedling you just need a tiny amount of water around the plant, like 10-20ml. It’s also best to have a humidity dome like a clear solo cup or an actual dome (Amazon sells them). At a young age they do their drinking from their leaves and the high humidity helps. When it starts to dry out, mist the inside of the dome not the plant. You want to have the inside of the dome at least 70%.i do this until it no longer fits under the dome when growing outside. Inside I do it for about a week as I humidify my tent. Also that plant doesn’t look like it’s getting enough light based on the photo. You need 14+ hours of direct sunlight outside and 18 hours of light indoors. If I were in your shoes I’d probably start over again and be more careful about watering.
Edit: dampening off is the term for it.

Consider starting in coco if you are having trouble with the amount of water for seedlings. A mix of coco and perlite at around a 60/40 split makes over watering extremely hard with the drainage and oxygen it provides. You can transplant into whatever you like from there it’s just an easy way to get them started.
