Not sure if anyone knows the history, or even cares, but it was first introduced into Britain to put onto the railway embankments. The roots were used to 'bind' the soil together and stop land-slides during heavy rain and also to make it 'look green'.

I believe you are thinking of Japanese Knotweed.
