Water Lilies broke off

Question

Here is what I believe happened…I have been feeding my Koi fish with Cheerios. A few days ago I saw a squirrel at the side if the pond scooping off some of the Cheerios. Today I go to the pond and the root sticking out of the Lily bucket is floating on top, broken off from the bucket. I believe the squirrel broke off the root/flower/plant trying to get out.

The problem…I don’t know what to do. Do I throw out the parts that are broken off and wait until whatever is left in the bucket will recover if will I need to replant? And if it’s in need of replanting, how do I do that? Thank you
