I'm sorry to say it, but there is almost no chance of it forming another root.

A seed can sprout no matter how it is oriented in the soil if it is close enough to the surface. There is only an "upside down" because it can take a few hours longer to germinate.

I would guess 0% chance. Time to start your back-up seed(s).

Good luck!
