The best plants to put in your tank would depend in part on what kind of fish you have and what "look" you're going for, but in general Anubias barteri var. nana and Echinodorus martii are both easy and require low light. They look really nice in a tank and grow relatively slowly so you don't have to worry about them taking over.

if you're just needing to grow aquatic plants for a project, then Egeria densa ("anachris") is probably the easiest.

here's a list of plants with pictures and descriptions to help you find the right ones for your tank... http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumapc/plantfinder/all.php

i have whats called a peace lilly in my tank. its normally a regular house/garden plant, but i was told that its often used outside at pond edges and likes lots of water. the woman at the nursery told me that she has hers completely submerged and its doing fine. ive only had mine in the tank for about three weeks, but so far so good, and it seems to love the environment. [i tried to find a small one because my tank is only 33 galons]. also, if you want a more traditional aquarium plant ceratophyllum demersum grows well. it is free floating - will not produce roots - but has long stems with beautiful frondy leaves. i put bunches of 4 or 5 stems together with soft lead strips to anchor the bottom and just stood them behind some of my rocks and wood. they look great and have grown 2 to 3 inches in about a week, and have already put out new buds. my tank has lots of light and i use co2 [home brew yeast in a 2ltr bottle] ive tried lots of other plants but this one is definately a keeper.

Anything in the cactus family if you are not a "plant person".
Stickery cactus or alovera require very little water or upkeep.
Pothus Ivy is pretty simple and pretty tough. Keep soil moist but it can tolerate very short periods of dryness.
There are several others but this will get you started.

If you're talking about a fish tank, java moss. It grows by itself.Be careful though, it can take over the tank, so you need to take some out every once and a while.

Dandelion.

Or just about any plant that is normally referred to as a weed.

usually floating or non rooted plants are the easiest. Java Moss, bladderwort, crystalwort, frogbit... all of those are very, very easy.
