Got a bamboo plant as a gift with the following instructions.
"keep the roots covered with water and it will thrive" printed
on the sheet of paper it came with.

What you are describing is Dracaena Sanderiana or "Lucky Bamboo". A
web search should provide a wealth of information on this plant.

Unfortunately this plant has nothing in common with Bamboo other than
being green and a plant :-)
