We cannot see the root you are referring to.  All you can do is monitor the plant. You do have the option of starting over. See the attached link on starting an avocado from seed http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/hort/info/inform/indoor/avocado.htm

I am referring to the plant and not the root. Should i cut off the dark part?

Yes, you can cut out the dark part.  Starting avacado plants from seed is usually very easy to do, so if this attempt fails, don't hesitate to start over.
