.. well I accidentally pulled a root from my Coin leaf and It has this green that I assume a small rhizome.. I left it out of the water for 10 minutes.. it dried out and looks like its dead and I tried putting it on my tank.. and this root eventually comes back to life again.. like weewwww.

is it possible that the green part of the root which I assume a small or short rizhome would grow another leaf or.. new plant?

Why hello there! I is indeed possible for the Rhizome (the long green root looking thing) to grow leaves and become a new plant. Just put the Rhizome in your setup and check it over the next few weeks. If the Rhizome begins to rot, take it out. If it does not rot, leave it in there and it should grow new leaves after a while.

Yup, just check it periodically to make sure. You will know if the Rhizome starts to rot because it will get super mushy and melt away. If it does that, take it out of the tank as soon as possible.

It is truly amazing how well plants can replicate themselves. Sometimes just a tiny piece of a plant can grow another one. I was surprised when a floating leaf from my water wisteria grew a new plant at the base of that one leaf. I no longer remove leaves right away should one come off. :)

I also have Wisteria but Im not using it in my tank.. Its just there sitting below the sun's heat but its pretty much alive/not dying .. it occupied the whole container by growing many roots and new leaves.
