Weed
A weed is often an unwanted, usually wild or feral, plant. The notion of "weed" is almost entirely in the eye of the beholder. A weed in one situation might be a wildflower in another. For example,
dandelions are widely viewed as weeds, but some consider them attractive flowers. They are also edible, their leaves and roots may be utilized for food or herbal medicine, they can break up hardpan for agriculture, and children commonly enjoy blowing their puffball seed heads, making them one of many potentially beneficial "weeds"
