The characteristic of the Kudzu vine that determined it was an invasive species is:

it grows rapidly, robbing other plants of sunlight.

Invasive species typically have traits that allow them to outcompete native species, and Kudzu's rapid growth and ability to overshadow other plants is a key reason it is considered invasive.
