Found this on the ground in a plant nursery. What is it? I thought sedum but google said no. I want to propagate it:

My google search said this!

The plant in the image appears to be Elodea canadensis, also known as Canadian waterweed. It is a submerged aquatic plant with small, green leaves arranged in whorls along the stem.

Planta identified it as moss rose but that doesnt seem right!

I thought about this too as it looks similar. Only thing is when I found it, it was growing in an indoor plant shop in stone. So thinking it must be a fallen cutting from a plant they were selling. Guess I’ll never know for sure though.
