I am not really sure what the causes the problem. Healthy tissue on top but hollow and mushy on the bottom. Same problem I have with malanga. None of my other bananas seem to suffer it. This year too much water was a problem for all of my bananas and they are just now recovering and thriving from the swamped conditions. You plants kinda look shaded. That could be a problem. Pill bugs are often not an issue since they normally decompose rotted and old plant material. There are species that can eat green material if there are too many.
