The plot of the story The story starts when Macbeth and Banquo were coming from a war's victory. The story took places at Scotland. Aburtly the maneuver disturbed by a spine-chilling noise. The sound came from three witches. The first witch told 'hail Macbeth,Thane of Glamis'.
The second witch told 'Hail Macbeth,Thane of Cawder'. The third witch told 'hail Macbeth,King'. Macbeth was puzzled and confused. The witches also told Banquo that he woundn't be the king but his generation would be. Banquo didn't believe one thing the witches told. Macbeth had believed the witches prophecy half but was still not statisfied. But when one of the messenger came to Macbeth and told that the Thane of Cawder had betrayed the kingdom and Macbeth became Thane of Cawder.
Macbeth starts the play as a loyal subject of the king. He is not a traitor. He kills the traitors. Something is needed to explain why he changes from a loyal subject of the king to a traitor. Suddenly the witches appear.

The woods attack the castle. His army changes sides. The witches explain the rise and fall of Macbeth. In literature you only bring in witches or God when you have absolutely no other explanation for a major change for the behavior or actions of a particular individual. Macbeth is one such case. The witches promised Macbeth that Dunsinane Castle would never fall until the Forest of Birnam attacked it.
Malcolm's army uses brushwood from Birnam Forest as camouflage - so that part of the prophecy is fulfilled. The witches also promise Macbeth that no man born of woman can kill him. Macduff was born by Caesarian section, after the death of his mother - so technically he was not born of a woman, but of a corpse.
You just can't trust these witches - though they do tell him to beware of Macduff that part was good advice. Malcom tells the army to cover themselves with branches from the trees.
The trees are part of Birnam Wood. The witches predicted that Macbeth could be killed when Birnam Wood came to his castle. In that sense, the woods were going to Macbeth's castle, ergo proving the witches' prediction true. Of course, they are carrying the branches ostensibly for camouflage, but in this way they fulfill the prophecy about Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane.

Some even view the second witch scene the cauldron scene as being a dream or fantasy in Macbeth's mind.
