Design the unstoppable Invasion

Though many weeds grow in isolated areas of the world, as the human population has increased, some weeds have increased their habitat to successfully dominate some areas of the earth. Think about what makes one weed much more invasive than another. Is it the size of plant? Is it how they spread seed? Is it how their roots break off, or tunnel far under the ground?

Design a weed that you feel would be the most effective at growing quickly and spreading its seed around while trying to keep others from pulling it out. First, draw a picture of your weed, with at least 4 of the invasive parts of the weed labeled. Then, in at least 4 sentences, explain why each labeled aspect of the weed would be able to outdo other weeds that might grow nearby. Lastly, name your plant.
