Is Broad-Leaf Plantain Related To Either The Water Plantain Or The Water Lily?

Plantain - Plantae, Magnoliophyta, Liliopsida, Zingiberales, Musaceae, Musa, sp.





Broad-leaf Plantain - Plantae, Magnoliophytae, Magnoliopsida, Lamiales, Plantaginaceae, Plantago, major





Water Plantain - Plantae, Magnoliophytae, Liliopsida, Alismatales, Alismataceae, Alisma, sp.





Water Lily - Plantae, Magnoliophytae, Magnoliopsida, Nymphaeales, Nymphaeaceae, gen, sp.





None of these are in the same family or even the same order.

I already gave you the full classification of broad-leaf plantain. lance-leaf plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is in the same genus as broad-leaf plantain. they are related to one another but not in any significant way to the other plants you mentioned.
