Roots hanging from Mid stem? Is this how they draw from the water column?

it just means that the plant can be propagated. if you want more of that plant, just cut it just below the roots and plant that and you have another plant

Pure speculation on my part. In the wild i think the roots help grab anything near it to help it grow vertically. Where there is alot of current, the stem would bend over perhaps enough to let it re-root on the lake or stream bed.
I imagine the plant could also draw in nutrients from the water column from those roots too. Some people dont like their looks so trim them off. I let nature takes it course. Never know where those roots will grab, so its fun to let the plant suprise you

As mentioned, the roots that you are seeing is one method that plants use to absorb more nutrients from the water column.
