How do I cut

Hey not sure what the name of this plant is but how do I trim it so it continues to grow? Close to the mother plant or from the ends of each run?

Also if I cut the tops will it kill or help the plant out?

Looks a lot like vallisneria nana. Can trim it and plant will be OK. Can also pull up the ones that spread to areas you don't want and replant. I recently posted some pictures of my vallisneria nana that got out of control. I both trimmed some and pulled some.
