    That appears to be terrestrial norfolk pine (any botanists feel free to correct me). It is definitely not an aquatic plant and will rot if left submerged.

    thank you, I was wondering why it had no roots. Why do suppliers sell terrestrial plants to pet stores?

    Don't you mean why do stores sell terrestrial plants as aquatic plants? Plant suppliers grow plants for many different applications, it is up to the retailer to determine what to order.
