weeds have long, deep roots that are hard to pull out
How do weeds compete for resources?if weeds steal resources from a farmer's crop, do they steal ?the roots of weeds absorb nutrients from the soil,meaning fewer nutrients are available to the crop plants.the roots of weeds absorb water from the soil, so less is available to the crop plants.the leaves of weeds absorb carbon dioxide from the air,so less is available to the crop plants.the leaves of tall weeds can also absorb light before it reaches the crop.
In order to manage garden weeds, one will first want to pull all weeds in sight, including their roots. Next, it is recommended to use mulch when possible to avoid the possiblity of the weeds returning.

type of relationship corn plant and weeds
The need for wet roots is the reason for why weeds have to be in ponds. The roots of many plants contrastingly resist long-term or year-round flooding or water-logging. The herbaceous and woody plants -- such as weeds and bald cypress (Taxodium distichum) -- that do tolerate such conditions tend to be good candidates for environments not only of maximum but also of minimal wetness.
the roots keep the soil from moving around and keeps them "anchored down".
The correct spelling is 'tumbleweeds' (a plant that break away from its roots and is blown by the wind).
it depends on what type of plant
Deep tap roots to compete with the other plants for nutrients is one of the adaptation of the weeds in the tropics. The other adaptation is its creeping characteristic which makes it cover large ground.
The safest way is to boil water and pour it over the weeds and grass. It would be safe for all. Poison has side effects and some weeds have long tap roots that defeat poisons.
