I found this stock today damaged and detached but it still looked perky. Can someone advise on how I can propagate it and where to cut? Or can I just stick the whole thing in water?

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.

I once stripped the lower half of leaves and stuck a whole stalk in the ground and watered heavily, daily. It rooted. I would have cut off the bent part if there had been one.
However nowadays I’d probably do leaf node cuttings like this, skip to a minute in…you could have a whole bunch of plants in a hurry if you wanted.
