Plants are a type of creature that are plant-like or fungal in nature. They can be found throughout Baldur's Gate 3, most notably in the Underdark in Act One, or in shadow-cursed form during Act Two.
“Vegetative or fungal creatures. Most can walk and move - and some are carnivorous.„
Characteristics
Plant creatures are creatures that have plant-like features like wood and bark or fungal features like fruiting bodies, but are able to rapidly move and even attack, unlike typical plants. Most plant creatures are non-sentient, but some of the fungi encountered in Baldur's Gate 3 such as the Myconid are indeed sentient.
Most plant creatures usually have an aversion to fire, and as such are vulnerable to 
Fire damage.

“These awakened plants, gifted with intelligence and mobility, plague lands contaminated with darkness.„
Blights are twisted, corrupted plants that have been tainted by evil. They resemble dead versions of their original plant form.

Myconid
“Intelligent, ambulatory fungi residing in the Underdark. They use spores to both communicate and attack, though they'd rather avoid the latter.„
Myconid are a species of sentient fungi that inhabit the Underdark. They typically form communities called circles, and communicate to each other in song form. For other creatures, they communicate telepathically by releasing spores.

Shambling Mound
“These rotting heaps of animated vegetation absorb all organic matter they come in contact with, and are bloated with the remains of plants, animals, and sewage systems.„
Shambling mounds are large, rotting masses of plant material that dwells often in swamps. Also known as shamblers, shambling mounds are made of dead plants which can make it difficult for a victim to spot until it's too late.
