My dad was head Plant Taxonomist for the state of California...

Off the top of my head, an Invasive Plant is, basically, a weed. More specifically, it's an introduced plant that competes with, and usually takes over the ecological niche/threatens the survival of of a native plant.

Oooh, I can't wait to see the end of the knotweed! I curse at it everytime I walk past.
