Google (images) for Dwarf Sagittaria (Sagittaria subulata).

Simply put, it looks like grass.

Dwarf Sagittaria is an easy plant to keep & should grow in a low tech tank (i.e. no CO2, average lighting levels)....

With lower light, it won't grow as tall. Makes a great foreground plant. Love mine.

do dwarf sagittaria feed from the roots?

 

[Themuleous]

Im told that all plants feed from both water and substrate, having both means you cover all the bases
