Like one's objections to weeds? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rooted
'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rooted that I've seen before include "(Of new cutting) firmly established" , "Firmly established and well planted" , "Stuck in one place, like plant" , "Firmly established in a plantlike way" , "Deeply felt" .)
