I don't see the pics, but what you describe sounds like biofilm. It's a warning your tank is out of balance, either from being too new or not well cycled. It'll flare up and vanish on its own, often with the arrival of new driftwood.
If you've cycled properly, it's just a passing stage. It's normal, and it never lasts.

That first pic looks like dead roots on the hydrocotyle. Will grow back with time but best to remove dead roots/stems
