  1. pigweed

    Pigweed is a group of wild, fast-growing weeds from the Amaranth family that are known for their hardiness and resistance to drought. These weeds, which can survive in various types of weather and soil conditions, are commonly found in cultivated agricultural lands, gardens, lawns, and other disturbed areas. They are called pigweed because, historically, they were used as a supplementary feed for pigs. Some pigweed varieties include redroot pigweed, smooth pigweed, and Palmer amaranth.
