Easy, foolproof test: Pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it's a plant. Probably an expensive one. If it stays firmly in the ground and refuses to come up without digging it's a weed.
It does look like Pigweed and if it is that isn't a 100% bad thing. "This wild edible can be a beneficial weed as well as a companion plant serving as a trap for leaf miners and some other pests; also, it tends to shelter ground beetles (which prey upon insect pests) and breaks up hard soil for more delicate neighbouring plants. Because of its valuable nutrition, some farmers grow amaranth today."
