Most of the "bamboo plants" you see being sold in shops is actually "lucky Bamboo" which I don't believe is actually a true bamboo. Its roots can be submerged, but if you plant the entire thing under water it will die.

I have had some lucky bamboo sumberged for a while now. Some pieces aren't doing great, but some are decent... They are small piece in a 2.5g beta tank.

They are not aquatic plants. They are bog plants. Not really suitable for most tanks but can be had.
