Check this list:

On each plant info page it will have a "Can Be Grown Emersed" tag and you can see if its yes or no.

Alternatively, you can also just visit any LFS and check the plants on sale, if they come in plastic cups, containers or trays and not submersed underwater, those plants can be grown emersed.

Yes, those plants like anubias and java ferns you see tied to wood and rocks and sold in plastic packs can be grown emersed... in fact, thats how they are all grown at the local plant farms (growing plants emersed is much faster, more economical and no need to bother about algae issues). Even carpet plants like HC, monte carlo, glosso, hairgrass etc can also be grown emersed, thats how they grow in nature too.

Do note that some of those plants may still need a higher humidity environment to maintain good growth, so you just have to adjust the humidity/circulation ratio (ie. maintain a shallow water level and cover the tank to retain humidity but still allow some air flow to create fresh circulation).
