The plant ID apps think it is wild ginger, but it does not look like a good match to me. There is a ton of wild ginger trying to take over my yard, and this is definitely not the same plant.

I don't know what it is, but is wild ginger good for anything? I don't think i've seen it before.
It's not in the ginger family. Don't eat it. But you can make tea with it! I think this is the wild ginger. It wants to grow everywhere in the yard and in every pot. It usually has a root knot that makes it harder to pull out than most weeds.
