Not unless you just want to. Either way.

I'd cut at that joint node below your underlined area. Just to give it a more firm grasp in the soil as it roots. They are quite invasive, so any cut you make will likely root with just a little care. This article will go into detail:

Should I snip off the top small stems too?
