Re: What root rot?
I grow a lot of my bananas in water. Mostly in aquaponics. Some in hydroponics.
When it's warm enough, they're fine. When it's too cool, they rot. (There's pretty much always some rotting going on, it's just that when it's sufficiently warm the growth rate exceeds the rot rate.)
I don't find it the least bit surprising that bananas are growing in soggy soil next to a rice paddy, since it's probably sufficiently warm. I bet almost all of the roots are up above the water level, though, in order to get sufficient oxygen.
