Yes, yellow dock, scientifically known as Rumex crispus, is indeed a member of the knotweed family. It's often referred to as a "wayside herb" because it tends to grow in uncultivated areas, such as roadsides, fields, and waste areas. Its ability to thrive in these less hospitable environments is a testament to its hardiness and adaptability.
