It would need sugar wouldn't it? What does Mr Google say?

[Bonsai]

I thought the ginger in a jar was preserved in syrup. I guess you'd simmer it in a sugar syrup until it was tender. No doubt chef Google will know.

Jackie French says

 Ginger root should be stored in a well-ventilated, dry cupboard or the fridge to prevent any further drying out. Once you've cut your piece of fresh root you can either wrap the end in plastic or peel and chop the whole piece and cover the remnant with sherry. This will preserve it for years – and the ginger-flavoured sherry can be used in cooking.

ginger flavored sherry  sounds good..
