The umbilical cord, which connects the placenta to the baby, needs to be cut so that the baby's blood supply can be secured within the baby's body, and the now dead placenta can be disposed of.
The umbilical cord, which contains one artery and one vein, should only remain attached until it has stopped pulsating, a matter of minutes. The blood in the cord is the baby's blood. Those few minutes while the blood is being added back into the baby's body benefits the baby and seems to help prevent a form of infantile anemia.
If the parent(s) have decided to save ("bank") the cord blood, a sufficient amount will remain in the cord for that purpose. The cord is cut so that the remaining cord is about 2 inches long. It will shrivel, die and eventually drop off, leaving a nicely healed "belly button," or umbilicus.
The umbilical cord separates from an infant by itself. Some parents may opt for "lotus birth", in which the entire cord is allowed to dry and separate naturally. Severance by medical personnel only speeds up the process.

During prenatal development in mammals, the umbilical cord connects the fetus to the placenta. In humans, the umbilical cord, or birth cord, is about 20 inches long, and is generally clamped and cut at the newborn infant's navel between 1 and 5 minutes after birth.
The umbilical cord is clamped after the birth of the baby with a plastic self locking clamp, provided by the midwife or hospital/birthing center. This may be removed with a umbilical clamp remover, or left on until the cord drops away from the baby which takes 4 to 10 days approximately. Jude S
The umbilical cord. The umbilical cord has the function of sending blood to the baby and returning blood from the baby after it has been utilized. There are two arteries in the umbilical cord that do this.
"The umbilical cord needs to be clamped after a minimum of two minutes to prevent anemia. Then, after the cord has been detached from the newborn baby, a syringe is used to obtain the placenta out of the cord at childbirth."
