Can you add a little context?
How big are the leaves? What is the texture of the leaves? Is there a main stem or rosette down there? Or are all the leaf stems coming out the ground individually? Is this something you planted or a volunteer? In your yard or in a forest or meadow or...?

This is a volunteer. There are three, this larger one on the edge of a bed, and two smaller ones in the grass. This one is maybe 7 inches tall, and the leaves probably average 5 inches. I will have to go out there tomorrow and dig around in the mulch to find out about the stems. Hope this helps.

It looks like a Dandelion.

I've never seen a dandelion (Taraxacum sp.) without a taproot, and I have grown several different species besides the common lawn weed. None have a root system that is even remotely like that. Dandelion leaves do not have hairs, either.
Not a dandelion.

All dandelions I know of do have tap roots. My thought wasn't set in stone (no, not you stone ), it opened dialogue. You have to admit, they do look like dandelion leaves. What looks like a dandelion without a taproot?
Inmygarden14, what is the texture of the leaves? Rough? Stiff? Soft? ...?

Just a guess, but could it be some type of wild lettuce? A lot of the wild lettuce photos I've seen have leaves a lot like dandelions: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=wild...

Are there thorns on some of the leaves, in pic 3 in particular? If so, wondering about some kind of thistle...? Maybe that's just cut grass debris.
Is there any odor of you rip a leaf in half? Is there white sap inside it? (If so, don't get it on your skin &/or wash off right away with cool water, not hot.)

Most of us are attempting to move past the "w" word...
A case could be made that all your garden plants started out as weeds somewhere, and many of them become weeds when planted somewhere that they grow too well and have no natural pests...
All the plants that show up in my garden have names and uses.... none receive the label "weeds".
