Solution

Weeds:
Weeds are the unwanted plants that grow alongside the crops.
These weeds rely on the nutrients supplied to the crops, reducing the nutrients available to the crops and hence impeding their growth.
To promote the growth of the plants, the invasion of these weeds must be restricted.
Plants like Xanthium and Parthenium develop in other plant farms without being grown and get their water and nutrients from the main crop plants. As a result, they are classified as weeds.
Final Answer: Xanthium and Parthenium are commonly known as weeds.
