Answer 2

Weeds can be described as undesirable plants.

Explanation:

• In the field of agriculture, weed can be described as those plants which are undesirable to grow in a certain place.

• They are harmful in ways that they start to take up the place of desirable plants for growth.

• They take up the resources such as nutrients from the soil more abundantly than the desirable plants.

• They reproduce more rapidly and hence there is little space left for desirable species of plant to grow.
