Sugarcane can be planted underwater

Today I was just planting sugarcane to get an enchantment table, like most people. But recently while I was doing that, I accidently, placed it inside the water. I realized that I could do this for most places in that river except on the gravel blocks. It would also create a small airpocket. P.S I couldn't write 1.19.2 but this was on 1.19.2. I am unable to test it in 1.19.4 at the moment, so if anyone could that would be appreciated.
