it doesn't look aquatic to me either. sometimes non-aquatic plants can survive under water for a couple or even a few months before they melt away. looks more like a terrarium plant to me and also like the fern i have hanging in my front window.
either way, you may want to remove the browning leaves as they will pollute your water.
they sell fake bamboo and several other non-aquatic plants as aquatic in many pet stores, the workers there aren't always educated on what they are selling. they just get paid to move product. petsmarts are notoriously bad for this.

Trichomanes javanicum...not truly aquatic...

100% terrestrial fern. Put it in a pot and set it in a bright shady area. Pet stores are notorious for selling non-aquatic plants as aquatic. Ferns grow in moist humid environments, so they do well after being submerged for some time.
dont feel bad. my first planted tank was full of non aquatic plants. every single one of them. some of them lasted almost a year but completely rotted away. live and learn.
you should go to that site plantgeek.net and learn all of the non aquatics before you make anymore purchases. once you learn the difference you would be amazed at how many stores sell non aquatics
