The Tangle Weed is a creature that can be found on many planets, including Tallon IV, Dark Aether, Bryyo, and Phaaze. It is a form of carnivorous plant that traps organisms in its tendrils before digesting them. It does not have the strength to hold down large organisms, making it harmless to Samus.

Logbook entry from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption: Tangle Weed
First Location: Phaaze - Drop Shaft
A simple form of plant life of which there are many species across many worlds. While each breed may have characteristics native to their respective ecology, they all possess identical behavior. Tangle Weeds constantly sway their brightly colored leaves to attract potential prey to land on them. The thousands of microscopic barbs lining the Tangle Weed's body will snare and inject a paralyzing toxin into their victim. While small organisms are unable to escape, Tangle Weeds lack the strength to do anything more than hinder the movement of larger life-forms. When attacked, they will retract into the ground until they no longer sense a threat.[2]
