A plant, typically a vining weed, that chokes or suffocates other plants by growing over them.
From 'choke' + 'weed', a plant that grows abundantly and suppresses other vegetation through shading or structural interference.
Plants like bindweed (chokeweed) are ecological invaders that actually change soil chemistry to prevent competitor plants from growing—they don't just choke plants, they poison their future.
