I think this is how they propagate themselves. I do not propagate them, so I don't know. I guess you could try to propagate by roots too.

Thank you, Is that how you propagate them or is it by the roots?

It is a water lily seedpod. When they dry, they turn downward towards the water and drop their seeds. Crafters use the with or without the seeds in flower arrangements.
