Looks like the running kind... You are likely to be weeding the taro out far more than the Erechtites... which gets large fast, but is mostly harmless.

I often wait for the american burnweed to bulk up before pulling it and adding it to the compost...

I googled the edibility of Colocasia... apparently you can eat the ones that you pull...

I once made a mistake of gifting someone with the running taro, and it tried to eat the entire garden... Took quite a bit of work to clean that stuff out... it still springs up... years later...
