What types of organisms can be considered pests?

Explanation:
In this pesticide context, pests are the unwanted organisms that directly challenge crop growth, and the focus here is on plants that are weeds. The best answer reflects that scope: only plants considered weeds. Herbicides are the tools used to control these plant pests, which is why the emphasis is on weeds as pests in this question. While insects, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and rodents can be pests in broader terms, they are usually addressed with other pesticide types (insecticides, fungicides, bactericides, rodenticides) and aren’t the focus of this weed-centered question.
