Does pooling or standing water harm a rubber flat roof? – Is that OK?

Does pooling or standing water harm a flat roof? Will plants that grow on flat roof cause leaks? In this video, you can clearly see that these plants have been there for a while. I asked the owner if I could leave the pond and plants so I can come back in spring or summer and make another video of the plants growing.
Will the plant roots get into the seam and cause leaks? If that were the case, then this would have leaked a long time ago. This particular pool of water has been cleaned off before. That’s when they did the patch with the Modified Bitumen Rubber membrane. It’s the second time that there is a pond with plants.
