All
✅Explanation:
Meloidogyne spp., commonly known as root-knot nematodes, are plant-parasitic nematodes. The second-stage juvenile (J2) is the infective stage of these nematodes. This means that the J2 is the stage that hatches from the egg and actively seeks out and infects the roots of host plants.
