Configuation, distribution and location account for how a weed's roots contribute to success in a garden.
Specifically, a weed can draw upon back-up plans in terms of the way in which roots grow and spread. For example, it depends upon fibrous configurations which are thin enough to penetrate just about any soil, be it loosely or tightly packed. It generally has a number of options to choose from for propagation: above-ground seeds and stolons and below-ground fibers and rhizomes.
A weedy plant generally distributes all of its roots within the top 5-6 inches (12.7-15.24 centimeters) of soil. So it has its roots exactly where soil moisture and nutrients are accessible and available. The fibrous, spreading nature of the underground roots works to ensure that the weed establishes quickly and gets first bid on whatever is around in terms of soluble minerals, nutrients and trace elements for life-sustaining, nutritious intake.

What is biological weed control?
Historically, you sent someone out into your garden or field with a hoe, and they chopped weeds or pulled them out by the roots. Chemical weeding involves spraying herbicides that target the most common weeds--not including the crop. Today, you might release an insect that feeds on the weeds but leaves the crop alone. These biological methods are not in common use yet. The biological method to get rid of tomato worms (horn worms), for example, is to pluck them off and stomp on them. Of course, that is pest control, not weeding.
