get_terms just returns an array of terms, it doesn’t generate output. You have to do something with that array to see the results-
$categories = get_terms( "category" );
echo "<ul>";
foreach ( $categories as $category ) {
echo "<li>" . $category->name . "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
See the other examples on the Codex page.
