In this paper,considering the effect of vegetation roots changes along with the depth of soil slope, establish finite element model, using the strength reduction method,,focus on clay soil two kinds of soil slope and whether rain or not, to analyze the effects of different vegetation roots on the soil slope stability. The results showed that the vegetation roots can improve the safety coefficient of slope effectively; change of slope angle does not affect the raising of vegetation on the slope safety coefficient of slope; in the rainfall condition, the stability will be reduced to a certain extent, but the roots still can improve the relative safety coefficient of slope.
