You need to take a Botany class or two. Your definition is simply wrong!It's called a weed because back in the 80's it was over abundant growing outta control, not from humans helping, the government and it's assetts burnt bushes of it, outta control plant, don't need help too grow, grows anywere, there for it's a weed
Having been around well before the 80's. I just have to ask.....WHERE was this "growing out of control" and "burning of bushes" going on?
Here, this is from Wiki -
A weed is a plant considered undesirable in a particular situation, "a plant in the wrong place". Examples commonly are plants unwanted in human-controlled settings, such as farm fields, gardens, lawns, and parks. Taxonomically, the term "weed" has no botanical significance, because a plant that is a weed in one context is not a weed when growing in a situation where it is in fact wanted, and where one species of plant is a valuable crop plant, another species in the same genus might be a serious weed, such as a wild bramble growing among cultivated loganberries. Many plants that people widely regard as weeds also are intentionally grown in gardens and other cultivated settings. The term also is applied to any plant that grows or reproduces aggressively, or is invasive outside its native habitat.[1] More broadly "weed" occasionally is applied pejoratively to species outside the plant kingdom, species that can survive in diverse environments and reproduce quickly; in this sense it has even been applied to humans.
