Make sure not to right click on the roots as this will dismount you. Just hover on top of them on your mount.
Dont just go to where the yellow arrow leads you, they are all over the island. And do this q together with the other 2, the killing of the mobs and the shards, easiest and fastest.

Description
The fallout from Shek'zeer's madness will continue long after her reign has ended. We will struggle to heal our lands for many years to come, and even then our efforts may prove fruitless. A new species of sha-twisted flora has begun taking root near Zan'vess. Destroy any that you find, but beware - there is no telling what kind of sinister defenses it may have.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
