Any ideas what plant this is??

Could be but water wisteria tends to have a fairly thick central stem and grows to 18", it also doesn't have the watersprites tendency to fragment into floating new plants. Similar in appearance though, It was the part about floating sections that made me think watersprite, mine always tended to do that.

Hygrophila difformis (wisteria) can fragment and float as well. It's kinda difficult to tell if it's water sprite or wisteria from the pic, but my first thought was wisteria.

Does Watersprite die in shaded area like hornwort?

Yes it will die, it's not a shade plant.
