A weed is a plant. There is no special biological taxonomic category for "a weed", just as there is no special taxonomic category for tree or bush. Each of these groupings is just an artificial classification that we have invented to help us describe plants that share certain characteristics.

A weed can be regarded as any plant that is growing where it is not wanted. Therefore a rose in a corn field would be a weed.
