These creatures are often allies of the forces of good, and oppose those who would harm or exploit nature.
There are different sources that describe treants in different ways.

In the fantasy world of Middle-earth, created by J.R.R.Tolkien, treants are called Ents.
They are ancient beings who can live for thousands of years, and have a deep knowledge of history and lore.
Treants have a slow and deliberate speech, and can only be understood by those who know their language.
They can also animate other trees and make them fight.In the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons, treants are huge plant creatures that can deal damage with their slam attacks and throw rocks at their enemies.
These creatures can also use their magic to animate one or two trees per day, and make them act as their allies.
Treants have a natural armor, and are vulnerable to fire.

What is the difference between ent and treant?
The difference between ent and treant is mainly in the origin and usage of the terms.
Ents are ancient and powerful tree-like beings who can speak and move.
Treant is a word that was derived from ent by adding the suffix -ant, meaning "giant".
Treant is used to refer to similar creatures in other fantasy works, such as Dungeons & Dragons, where treants are sentient trees that can animate other trees and protect the forests.
Treant is also a more generic and lawyer-friendly term than ent, since ent is owned by the Tolkien estate and may be subject to legal restrictions.
Therefore, ent and treant are essentially the same concept, but with different names depending on the source and context.
