something like ultra black gasket sealer will work, made by permatex and you should be able to find it at most auto supply stores. Put it on thick and let it dry for a few hours until firm, then put a second coat on it. It will get you over until you can get a new piece. I wouldn't drive it with unfiltered air going into the engine. Do an oil change once you get it fixed to get the extra dirt out of the engine, your silicon levels will be pretty high.

I heard silicone would work but I don't know I rather replace things right away
but i have no money at all
Just use the tape until you can replace or fix it . Duct tape is a bit more sturdy so it won't fly off. But whatever you have around for a temp fix.

Pull it off and scrub the inside and out with soap and water. Dry it well. Take RTV and fill in the crack and then smear a little inside and out to form a cap on each side. Let it dry over night.

That intake hose was designed and installed without any stress on it. If the stress is still on the hose, a temp fix (glue) will fail.

Something caused that to crack. Something we don’t know about.
