I accidentally put my cord in the washing machine. How can I tell if it’s damaged. I have an iPhone 8.

Will it damage my iPhone 8 to use a charging cable that went through the washing machine?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

iPhone wet, blew hot air into the bottom, and the lightning port broke I accidentally dropped my iphone 12 into a broth. It was immediately taken out and cleaned of any food debris. I tried to use a hairdryer to drive water out of the lighning port but ended up overheating it, completely disabling the port. Is it imperative that I get my phone repaired? Or can I use magsafe devices to charge it instead( i happen to be in possession of one)?

Is it dry? If so, plug it in and see if it works.
