What type of soil is it planted in? Where is it's water source?

If it has to pass rock to obtain water, then it could be 10 or 20 meters.

If it is planted next to or within a grass lawn, the roots will spread across the lawn. In this scenario, the roots will be found on the surface or just under the surface, under 6 inches in depth. You may find an occasional branch root of a surface (or near surface) root which goes down a foot.

How deep do trees roots go?

Tree root systems do not grow very deep. Tree's roots grow shallow and wide. Do not cut them! Tap root? Okay, many conifers have tap roots extending deep into the soil, however they still rely on surface roots for oxygen, moisture, and nutrients. In general, tree roots are close to the surface, extend laterally from the tree (like spokes on a bicycle wheel), and extend far beyond the canopy of the tree. Commonly, roots will extend well beyond 2 to 3 times outside of the drip-line. Roots have been found more than 10 times beyond the distance from the trunk to the canopy. Most people do not understand roots, or trees. This is what the last guy wrote: "Close to double its height and about as least twenty feet in each direction depending on how old the tree is. It depends on the type of tree and the conditions in which it is growing. Trees are like people they are basically lazy so they will only put roots out as far as they have to to supply nutrients and support." Remember, just because you see it on the internet, it is not always true. Tree roots grow where there is an abundance of oxygen, water, and nutreints. Which is where? Where the soil meets the air.

Will a chopped down banana tree with no roots still grow if it is replanted and taken care of?

New banana trees grow from the roots of the old banana trees. After a banana tree bears fruit it dies. Then its roots send up several new banana trees. The chopped down part of the tree will probably not grow. The roots will probably send up new trees. You can dig up one of those and get a new tree.
