Do you know what this plant is?

My father put it in this small pot, and I wonder if it can survive the frost. As it is a tropic plant, I'm not sure. It probably can survive since it's indoors. Can you guess what this plant is?

Doesn't look like one I've tried to grow.

If planted in another place, I might not be able to recognize it.

Looks like ginger to me.. It needs quite a bit of sunshine.

Yeah, you are right, it's ginger. A piece of ginger with green roots. So my father put it into the soil. One of its leaves has become yellow, I don't know how to nurse it. Any ideas?

looks like ginger. you can try covering the plants with a sheet or something but it will depend on how cold it gets. I cover some when it freezes and sometime they survive and other times they don't. Safest bet is to keep it inside

Yeah, when it gets colder, I will try to cover it with a film of plastic.
