Christine,
What type of flooring is it? There are many ways to do this depending on the type of flooring. A picture is always helpful.
You can cut it out and replace it, gluing the replacement in place. If it's not major, you may be able to putty it. Make sure it's supported underneath. Unfortunately, sometimes you get a bad piece of wood.

Hello Christine,
Cut out or remove the broken board and replace with new if not able to take weight, otherwise, use a wood filler if not badly damaged. Worth being safe than sorry!
Hi Christine, if it is just a crack, use some epoxy to mend it,
The most effective way to repair a cracked floorboard without replacing it is to fill the crack with epoxy filler. Unlike latex- or solvent-based wood fillers, epoxy filler bonds to the wood, and it will prevent the crack from widening. It's important to choose the color carefully because you can't stain epoxy filler.
There is some helpful information:
