History of Weed in Timeline
A weed is any plant deemed undesirable in a specific context due to conflicts with human preferences or needs. This designation is particularly relevant in agriculture, where weeds can significantly reduce crop yields.

Invasive species, which negatively impact ecosystems, can also be considered weeds. The determination of whether a plant is a weed is thus situational and based on its impact within a given environment.
