Summoning sickness prevents a player from attacking or using the abilities of a creature that was just summoned. This impacts a player's ability to gain control of a creature because they cannot immediately use it to attack or activate its abilities on the turn it was summoned.

Are non-tap abilities still subject to summoning sickness in magic the gathering?

Summoning Sickness stops a creature from attacking, and prevents it from tapping as the cost of an activated ability that uses the tap symbol. Non-tap abilities are not affected by summoning sickness. They can be tapped for the cost of abilities that do not use the tap symbol (such as that of Gilt-Leaf Archdruid).
