It looks like Red Amaranth which is a good sacrificial plant for pests if in a garden.

Weed is just a slur for plants you don’t want there.
Seconding red amaranth 😉

A lot of plants look similar. A good way of identifying them is by their flower. It’s very difficult to be able to identify it at this point. It could be a number of things. Also, a weed is any plant growing where you don’t want it to. Essentially any plant can be a weed. Another way of possibly identifying the plant growing in your box is to become a detective. Look around your immediate surroundings and see if there is anything growing that looks similar. Then spread out a little further. It could be growing behind your building and a seed might have blown into your box, a squirrel could have dropped it, or a bird might have dropped it in your box. If that doesn’t work, wait until it flowers.
If I had to guess, I’d say it could possibly be amaranth. I doubt it is, but that’s what it reminds me of. Good luck.

If you grew it, it’s a plant. If it grew itself it’s a weed.

Only you can tell if it’s a weed 🤷🏻♀️

Yup, weeds are in the eye of the beholder. If it grew itself, and you want it, it’s a volunteer. If you don’t want it, it’s a volunteer weed 😉
