This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

Does the tuber feel firm or is it soft?

It looks burnt, is it in direct sunlight or got too cold? Those are the only things I can think, it’s strange, I’m curious as well.

Do you have a cat? Could be a dog or other pet, but cats are jerks.

If this were my plant, I would take a blade and cut a few cm above the base of the shoot and let the plant send out new growth.

I think this is called bacterial stem rot. Do the damaged parts of the plant feel soft and rotted (or did they before you stopped watering)? If so, the plant cannot recover and you should discard it to avoid infecting other plants. I’m not sure how this plant got it… maybe it was being grown in conditions with high humidity and poor air circulation?
