Are these weeds?

Hi everyone,

New to bonsai. Received this dawn redwood and it appeared to have these small weed looking plants at the base. Are they weeds?
I pulled them out once, but they grew back. Should I keep pulling them out or just let them grow?

Thank you!

yes they are weeds and they are robbing your tree of nutrients and water
pull them out
