That is Hemigraphis Exotica. It will not grow underwater. It thrives in a vivarium. If you leave it as is, it will die. You can pull it up and leave the roots in the water. Make sure the leaves stay exposed.

the store clerk sold it to me submerged in water, there were also signs of growth. Is it really a terrestrial plant?

My quick search confirms the above (not that I doubted the plant man) ...it will eventually rot if you leave it under water unfortunately

Is there a way to let it sit on top of your tank and let the roots dangle in?

Your only choice is as @CaptainBarnicles says. Unless you can return it.
