If you are confused how to purify the shiny roots or the treant tenders, you need to use the quest item Purifying Tangle. It does not currently show up as an action button on your quest bar, it goes straight to your bags, and if your bags were full, and they probably were, you need to leave the world quest area, make bag space and come back in to receive it.
Might even need to leave the World Quest area and log out and back in to reset it.
Use the Purifying Tangle in your bags and then drop the circle on the Treant Tenders or the shiny roots the druids are setting on fire. It doesn't really do anything to the druids except make them neutral for a few seconds until they break free of the roots, but it is odd that it has an effect.
Make sure you are not still in a raid for world boss and Superbloom. After that try leaving the quest area and logging out and back in. This has a chance to fix it by resetting the status of you not being in a raid. Sometimes it gets stuck and you don't get quest credit for regular quests because the game still counts you as in a raid group.

I have both an icon for it and it's in my bags, but when I use it to put a circle on a treant or fiery roots, I don't get credit for that. I also don't get credit for killing the druids.
