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.

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.
