I second Sieg's advice, but my first thought was: Were these pots in direct sunlight?

If so, we have a clear case of unintentional 'bananaslaughter'. Banana roots in the
ground are never exposed to the temperatures, which are created in a pot in the sun.

Never mind the roots. The key is in the corm. If that is still firm like a potato, you
still have a sick, but viable plant. If is marginally softer you still have hope, but if
it is shriveled and very soft, your compost will appreciate the addition.

Whatever the case, you will have to get them out of these tiny pots, and then you
can assess the condition of the corm.
