Hi there! I see you're in Hot-lanta 😛 It might be too hot to keep your Taro outside, hence the droopy leaves. It could also be overwatering — they like their soil to stay consistently moist, but soil that stays too wet for too long can cause symptoms like you described (and also lead to root rot).
I'd check the roots to make sure. Trim away any that are darker in color, mushy, and/or smelly. You may want to repot in fresh soil, ideally one with good drainage to help the soil dry out faster (I personally use succulent soil with perlite or pumice, orchid bark, and earthworm castings mixed in). Also make sure you let the soil dry out between waterings. You want it to feel lightly damp, but not soggy. If you find you're still having the same issues, I'd consider moving it inside, at least during the hottest time of day 😊
