Question
I have a violet plant here. I think it belongs to the family Lamiaceae since its stem has four sides and it resembles me a lamiaceae flower. Thank you!Also, I want to know what possible family/species does a flowering(1 small flower) weed belongit looks like asteraceae with flowers & poaceae if none
Answer
I cannot see the plant in the image clearly (the photograph is out of focus slightly), but your flower appears to be Viola (garden violet, sometimes also known as Johnny-jump-up). Many flowering plants have square stems that are not part of the Lamiaceae (mint family). That trait (square stems) does not define mints). If you look at the flower and note whether or not it has a blunt, rounded nectar spur (on the "back side" of the flower) it will help confirm it as Viola tricolor (mints do not have flowers with nectar spurs). Best wishes.
