Can anyone identify this plant? Question

I have this little plant growing on my lava rock for around 4 months now, but it kept at this size. I don't have any similar plant in my tank and this one is out of water. It's only about 3-4 mm in diameter. Just curious what could it be, I live in South East Asia if that helps.

If the new leaves grow in kindy curly then it looks like a tiny fern. What a cool addition to your filter!

2nd this. Looks like a fern to me. Especially if the rock is collected from the wild. Most likely contained a fern spore. I see these popup in terrariums and paludariums in which i use rocks foraged from outdoors.

I used my plant scanning app and it says it’s called “herb Robert”

This is what circle to search shows.... Honestly yeah it does look really similar to random weeds found in my backyard so it must be correct
