What is this plant?

Hello,
I recently received an unusual plant as a gift, and I don't know what
it is and how to take care of it. Please advise.
It has large, shiny, dark green heart-shaped leaves which are 2"-3" in
diameter. Each leave comes out a long straight stem which is about
8"-10" tall. The root system looks it is a cross between bulbs and
rizomes. The shape is like a skinny oval bulb, but the outside looks
like it has rings like on rizomes. The medium it comes in is a dish
with large stones and water, and there is no soil.
I would love any advice you can give me about this plant.
Thanks in advance,
Luna
It SOUHDS like some kind of TARO, a member of the aroid family. best
