Does Anyone Know What This Plant Is?

Have been given a house plant by someone who didn't know what it was, and neither do I! Please help identify it someone! It has almost round green veined leaves, which seem to grow in abundance from the top of an almost woody thick stem, and as the stem grows the leaves single out, and some have dropped off towards the bottom of the plant. There are several new plants growing from the root. The only thing I was told was that the plant is very thirsty!
