Yeah looks like sugarcane to me too. A section with a node or too roots very easily. Just stick it in the ground and it will send out new shoots. About one of the easiest things to root.

You can find them in the Hispanic or Asian grocery stores and you can root that too. There are different varieties too, so it might end up being different from the one they are growing.

In the Chinatown in LA, there is a shop that has a machine that squeezes the juice out of the stalk and they sell it as a drink. But the way I use to eat it as a child was my mom would cut off the skin and then cut the canes into bite size chunks and we would just bite and suck on it. Its kinda fibrous though.
And one thing I should note is the leaves can give you a serious papercut.
