very good and thank you very much for receiving me in this forum, the truth is that I am not that experienced in planted aquarium issues and I am having problems with my plants, for some reason despite being healthy, not having wilted leaves or bad color, my plants break from the base, only the stem breaks and I can't figure out why, it happens to all my plants and I don't know what to do about it, if anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. I use a fluval brand fertilized substrate and the light would be approximately 22 watts for the entire aquarium, which is a 10 gallon, as for fish I have a betta, 4 guppies and a snail, the values ​​in the fish tank are perfect and the nitrates are good.

The plants look very healthy. See where the roots are extending from the node? Replant the stem with those roots under the gravel. You shouldn’t have any problems after that.
 
Why is the reason of that? Is it something about plants that i need to know? The roots are the cut point for plants?

The roots are looking for a fertile substrate so cut the stems below the roots and replant. If you cut the top of a stem plant it will sent new stems that branch off from the nodes.
