Yes - it can be grown in water - so long as the water contains the correct nutrients to allow the plant to grow. The process is called 'hydroponics' - and is commonly used to grow crops such as lettuce all-year round.

Lots of plants do it naturally - they will grow on rocks or as epiphytes on other plants. In cultivation it is reasonably easy - hydroponics and ring culture are just 2 ways to do it.
