Apparently it depends on the plant. For example, Peter Chan in his 1985
bonsai book "Bonsai: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees"
recommends that a bonsai pot containing a willow (Salix spp.) should be
immersed in water during the summer. Same for a swamp cypress (Taxodium
distichum) bonsai.

Although both of these tend to like water it is not necessary to leave them
sitting in water.
