I checked on my ant colony today and I saw two grass seedlings and one unknown plant. They are all seedlings but, is this a problem? :?:

The ants won't have a problem with them. Did you use dirth from outside?

Yes, It was a mix of rich soil and sandy soil. The unknown one out of the three has two leaves and seems to be a springtail magnet. Will the roots affect the ants or is it fine?

The roots might help them structure and secure their tonels but if it get too big them maybe but I would not be woried about it.
