Weed

Weed is an every day term used in a variety of senses, usually to describe a plant considered undesirable within a certain context. The wordcommonly applied to unwanted plants in humancontrolled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parkscarries no botanical classification value, since a plant that is a weed in one context is not a weed when growing where it is wanted. Indeed, a number of plants that many consider weeds are often intentionally grown in gardens and other cultivated settings. Less commonly, the term is applied to any plant that grows [1] and reproduces aggressively outside its native habitat. The term is occasionally used to broadly describe species outside the plant kingdom that can live in diverse environments and reproduce quickly, and has even been applied to humans.
