I think you said it best first: a weed is just an unwanted plant.\n\nDon't believe that crap about a weed just being a plant we haven't found a use for.\n\nI'm a restoration ecologist and I have seen weeds destroy more biodiversity and habitat than ANY other cause.\n\nEDIT: myrtguy: you usually have good answers on these issues but they may be a little misleading here.  Restoration ecologists do a lot more than just working on areas that humans have made a mess of (though you are right - that is mostly what they do).  It is worth mentioning that you would be hard pressed to find ANY area of land that has not been influenced by humans to one extent or another.\n\nYou are also right about plants in gardens but... Many of our most agressive weeds are plants that have escaped from gardens unintentionally (such as Purple loostrife or Leafy Spurge).  Too many nurserys sell these things to coustomers who transport them all over the U.S. (and the world).

No. \nGeophytes are those plants that have their growing buds below the ground. They usually have parts modified as storage organs (roots and stems forming bulbs, rhyzomes, etc) and are able to undergo unfavorable periods by staying within the soil, with their buds well protected. Thus, they're perennial.\nOn the contrary, terophytes are annual plants. These are usually grasses and forbs, plants that quickly grow, produce flowers and many seeds, and then die with the onset of unfavorable conditions. They don´t have storage organs, because they do not rely on resistance, but rather on producing many offspring that will grow in the next favorable season.

Fruits contain seeds. Vegetables don't.  But there is a lot more to it. See here:\n\nhttp://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/teach/msg011956409905.html

well i think you know what it is and are probably trying to grow it from the way you are talking. marijuana seeds dont fly out of birds. any dumbass knows what mj looks like just from the leaf, yeah you can get in trouble for cultivation, not that much if you only have one plant and claim you dont know what it is. they wont believe you anyway. you wont get caught, if the cops find out then your friends really arent your friends.

Thank you!\n\nNo, mushrooms are not vegetables.  They are not even plants by any sense of the word.  They do not photosynthesize, they do not seed or bear fruit.  They have just as much (or as little depending if you are a glass half full or half empty person) in common with animals as they do plants.\n\nSpeaking of definitions, a vegetable is not defined by what you find in a salad.  A vegetable refers to the part of a plant that is not directly involved the reproductive cycle of that plant.  A fruit on the other hand is not defined as some sweet that you can put in a cake or serve with ice cream, rather it is the part of the plant that is the result of the reproductive cycle and carries the plant embryo (seed).\n\nExamples:\ntomato = fruit\navocado = fruit\ncoconut = fruit\npinecone = fruit\nbanana = debatable... flower?\ncinnamon (bark) = vegetable\nblade of grass = vegetable\na piece of 2x4 = vegetable\n\n\nEconomically, as mentioned by the answerer above, an edible mushroom can be classified as "food" but not vegetable, fruit, or meat. \n\nEcologically, you can lump a mushroom in with bacteria, mold, worms, maggots, vultures, hyenas, and any other scavanger that comes to mind.

A Vegetable is a plant cultivated for an edible part, such as the root of the beet, the leaf of spinach, or the flower buds of broccoli or cauliflower.\nFollowing that definition, vegetables form part of the Plantae Kingdom, so they DO exist in Biology.

Vegetables are a very high source of energy. If you eat them and do not use that energy, then it's just sitting in your body. Your body has to do something with it, so it makes it into a gas and of course, that gas makes it's way out of your body. So, if you are going to eat broccoli, I suggest you go for a quick run.   :)

Technically, it's a plant.\nAlthough it's often called "herb". 8-)
