Can anyone help out with an id for this plant?

These guys pop up all over the garden.
I have not been able to find a proper id for it anywhere on line.
Please help out if you have an idea of what it is.

My phone says “clearweed”, and here is what a little search turned up.

Clearweed: Weed or Valuable Wildflower?

By definition, an unwanted plant in the garden is a “weed” to gardeners, but it should be remembered that there are certain native plants we call “weeds” that may have an ecological role that makes them valuable to some wildlife in the area.

I've never seen this plant before. What types of plants are growing next to it?

You have to eradicate the weeds first. Using sprays or pulling or both. Then keep a 2-3 inch layer bark nuggets , rocks or other top dressing over the soil area to block sun and germination of old weeds and new weed seed that blow in on wind currents. It’s never an easy project and is a constant process . A necessary evil so to spek. Keep weeds from over coming garden plants is the best I can do. There is also a treatment for weed seeds that stop seeds from germinating call preen. Also blocking areas with cardboard, helps keep weeds from germinating in spring. I put cardboard from boxes laid flat along the garden paths in late fall thru spring to block weed seeds from growing
Every little bit helps.
