You imbue plants within 30 feet of you with limited sentience and
animation, giving them the ability

to communicate with you and follow your simple commands. You can
question plants about events in the spell's area within the past day,
gaining information about creatures that have passed, weather, and other
circumstances.

You can also turn difficult terrain caused by plant growth (such as
thickets and undergrowth) into ordinary terrain that lasts for the
duration. Or you can turn ordinary terrain where plants are present into
difficult terrain that lasts for the duration, causing vines and
branches to hinder pursuers, for example.

Plants might be able to perform other tasks on your behalf, at the DM's
discretion. The spell doesn't enable plants to uproot themselves and
move about, but they can freely move branches, tendrils, and stalks.

If a plant creature is in the area, you can communicate with it as if
you shared a common language, but you gain no magical ability to
influence it.

This spell can cause the plants created by the entangle spell to release
a restrained creature.
