I have no idea what to do to save this orchid. Please help.

Root or Spike? Julie got bumped off her ledge when someone opened the window and I noticed that she snapped. Is this a root or a flower spike? And do I leave it or cut it. Happened several days ago already and is still very green. Advise please. #OrchidLovers
