Grasping plants sprout from the ground in a 20-foot square within range. For the duration, these plants turn the ground in the area into Difficult Terrain. They disappear when the spell ends. Each creature (other than you) in the area when you cast the spell must succeed on a Strength saving throw or have the Restrained condition until the spell ends. A Restrained creature can take an action to make a Strength (Athletics) check against your spell save DC. On a success, it frees itself from the grasping plants and is no longer Restrained by them.

Entangle 5e 2024 vs. 2014 edition differences

The 2024 version allows the spell to be cast by both druids and rangers, and specifies the plants "disappear when the spell ends." It clarifies that creatures are restrained upon failing the save, and that restrained creatures can use an action (specifically Athletics) to escape, removing the restrained condition. The 2014 version only permits restraining creatures, with no mention of plants disappearing or specific escape actions.
