Plant roots bind the soil and regolith together.

Growth of native vegetation on slopes
Usually growth of native vegetation on slopes does not trigger mass movement. The root systems help to hold soil in place providing stability.
among the factors that commonly triger mass movements are saturation of surface materials with water,oversteepening of slopes,removal of vegetation, and earthquakes.

Mass movement
The removal of vegetation by fire or logging can promote mass wasting by destabilizing the slopes. When vegetation is removed, the roots that once held the soil together and prevented erosion are also removed. This makes the slopes more susceptible to erosion and mass movement, such as landslides or debris flows, especially during heavy rainfall events.
One trigger of mass movements occurs when the pores in sediments become filled with water.
flat surfaces duh 🥺🥰

Mass movement refers to the movement of surface material due to gravity. Other factors that can trigger mass movement are deforestation, saturation of surface materials with water, earthquakes and flash floods.
