I searched the exact phrase, and there’s a useful clue: one of the strongest matches identifies the plant as oregano.
A page titled “It is one of the most powerful plants in the world” says the plant is oregano (Origanum vulgare) and highlights two compounds, carvacrol and thymol, as the reason for its purported medicinal properties.

However, “one of the most powerful plants in the world” is marketing language, not a scientific classification. Oregano does contain biologically active compounds, and oregano oil has antimicrobial activity in laboratory research, but that doesn’t mean eating oregano or taking oregano oil will prevent or treat a wide range of diseases.
What the claim is probably referring to
If your phrase came from the same kind of health-advertising article, the likely chain is:
Oregano → carvacrol + thymol → antimicrobial/antioxidant activity → “powerful plant”
The problem is that advertisements often jump from laboratory findings to much stronger claims about what the plant will do inside a human body.
Also, there are several completely different plants that websites have described with essentially the same phrase—including ashwagandha, dandelion, nettle, chlorella, and iboga.

So I wouldn’t say with certainty that your particular article means oregano without seeing its source.
If you give me the URL of the “Why Neck Skin Sags as You Age” article/ad you were reading, I can trace the wording and tell you exactly which plant they’re selling, what they claim it does for sagging neck skin, and which claims are actually supported by evidence.
