"Weed" is a generic term used to describe plants are are either invasive or are growing unwanted in an area.
This means that a plant that may be well adapted and noninvasive in its home environment becomes a nuisance (weed) in another country. Almost every "weed" is like this.
Therefore because the term "weed" describes literally thousands of plants (both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous) it is impossible to tell what root system it will have.

∙ 6y agoProximity to the surface and speed in establishing and expanding are the ways that roots contribute to a weed's success in the garden. Air, moisture and nutrients make their strongest impacts and presences within the topmost six inches (15.24 centimeters) of soil. Topsoil is the zone where a weed's fibrous, shallow roots anchor and spread out into the contaminated, disturbed, high- or low-nutrient situations that edibles and ornamentals cannot tolerate.
