If it's not something small like Impatiens, the one that might be Prunus (plum/cherry family), might well be a small branch of a tree.
For the host plant for the leafless vine that I think is dodder, it's completely logical that there are "snakes" running through the roots. This is how dodder grows. A twig falls off somewhere and it literally grows into something that looks like a green snake and snakes along the ground until it finds a host plant. Then it twines up the plant, inserts its stickers in the roots and into the stem. So even though snakes with eyes might not seem naturalistic, if you've seen dodder shoots, it makes total sense to draw them that way.
