Similar to cactus which is adapted to grow in hottest places, lotuses are also adapted to grow in wet places and this is why it grows in water.
Lilies are also similar to lotus and if they are removed from water for a long time, eventually both will die.

The genus Nelumbo (Lotus) evolved to live in a wet habitat, certainly in areas with water from 2 feet to 2 inches of water. It relies on buoyancy to float up it's starting floating leaves until it makes aerial emergent leaves. Theoretically if a sample does produce only aerial leaves, yes it may survive on land but requires moist and wet soil to amend it's high demand of water to compensate for the turbid pressure in the plants leaves and stem to make the aerial leaves stand up upright, but it would be hard to maintain the possibility till the plant matures.
