Some will say a weed is an intrusive plant that you never intended to have growing in your yard/garden. Other may say, it's a gift, planted there for a reason.
Curious as to why you need this.

Technically, a weed is any plant that grows where it is unwanted. But, I assume that you cannot use that as your answer. In the US, we have dandilions, queen anne's lace and thistle that are weeds in the midwest.
