Believe it or not, the word “weed” has zero formal botanical or scientific classification. A plant is only a weed based on context and human preference. It’s entirely subjective! For example, if a stray corn plant pops up inside a neat field of soybeans, it’s officially considered a weed—though farmers usually call it a “volunteer” plant.
