First of all remove that tape. ZZs are really resilient. It’s probably overwatered. I water mine once every few months and it’s thriving.

It’s a ZZ and is straight up one of that hardest plants to truly kill. Recovering this one will take some patience as they are slow growers. Is remove the tape, cut back the old dried stems (the brown part) and move it to a window that gets good light. I’d avoid direct Sun while it’s in recovery.

It looks like there are no drainage holes in the pot, are there?
ZZ need very little water and like almost every houseplant, they hate „wet feet“ and need drainage.
I would suggest digging them up, inspect roots, cut off mushy parts, cut off brown stumps, let roots regrow in water and put in a pot with drainage once the roots look juicy and start to branch.
