OP
for the number 4 Anubias it is planted in my sand. Should I tie it to a stone or driftwood?
Picture three looks like a sagittaria or a carpeting sword. Fourth picture is a stem plant, though I am quite uncertain. However, I do agree with @PheonixKingZ with identifications regarding to pictures one and two.
#4 looks like the lighter green color of Anubias that I have. I suggest tying it to stone or driftwood, so it doesn't rot.

If number 4 is a stem plant would it still be ok on some driftwood?

OP
Is there an easy way to tell if #4 is an anubias or a stem plant? It looks like it has little roots coming out of the stem all the way from the bottom to the top of the plant.
Yes, if it is a stem plant, I suggest leaving it in the substrate.
Will you please upload a quick couple of more pictures from the side and the top?

When you say roots, do you mean actual roots? Or the little stems that are attached to the leaves?

Anubias has a rhizome from which each leaf grows, and hair roots grow. Plant #1 is an Anubias. Plant #4 is a stem plant, I'm not much with these, but try Hygrophila, Bacopa, Ludwigia as possibles. Photo 2 is a sword, probably Echinodorus grisebachii (though it may have been sold under the name E. bleherae). Photo 3 is Helanthium tenellum most likely, the pygmy chain sword as someone said.
EDIT. New photos were posted while I was typing, my numbers refer to photos in post #1 not #11.

for the pygmy chain sword should I try rooting all the little plants on the long part of the stem?
