The tares, the seed of Satan by nature promoting sin, evil and injustice will frustrate the good desires in the believer for righteousness, even suffocating them, adding fuel to the fire of warfare that the flesh mounts on the spirit inside the believer. They will fill the outside world with all evil until at some point, the believer gets the message that God within is His only hope (1Jn4:4), as reaching Him from the external proves insufficient and begins to work towards God's perfect will. Had the tares been plucked before then, the believer would still be caught in the middle of this war between flesh and spirit(Gal5:17), unprepared for the coming of the Lord, which state requires spirit perfectly annihilating flesh resulting in stainless righteousness(Eph5:27), which is an eternal loss to the believer, not affording him God's best on earth and eternity. Picture the fact that the wheat competing for survival against the tares in the field will have to pull on every fibre within them making them stronger and more developed.
The pressure from tares is to bring the best out of you dear believer. Don't be discouraged, forge on!

Thank you for your invitation sir/ma. It's a good question you've asked there. We will need to first understand the will of God in Christ to satisfy your inquiry. Man was designed chiefly to relate with God from within Him ultimately(Col 1:27,1Jn4:4, Jer31:33-34). But this being a very artful and skilful capacity was subjected first to learn under tutors, that is the law of God, both in scripture and in nature(Gal3:24), then when fully mastered in these, to proceed to learn about God from within, all attainable here on earth. We are by default satisfied and prone to manage an external relationship with God from maybe just bible study, fellowship with brothers, listening to teachings, which are all good in their proper place, if serving to lead us into Gods ultimate will(stated above) but otherwise unsatisfactory to God. So in order to depend on Christ within us, we will have to be put under pressure to somehow be forced to.
This brings us to your question, the purpose of the tares. The tares, the seed of Satan, by nature promoting sin, evil and injustice will frustrate the good desires in the believer for righteousness, even suffocating them, adding fuel to the fire of fleshly tendencies mounted against the spirit nature inside the believer. They will fill the outside world with all evil hence awakening inside the believer fleshly essences yet to be dealt with and forcing him to turn to the greater One within Him for help in true prayer(1Jn4:4) for overcoming grace hence Rom5:20 plays out. Had the tares been plucked before then, the believer would still have lodged within him, a lot of unexposed fleshly lusts and tendencies thereby not aware to deal with the subtle, well-hidden fleshly tendencies, so remaining in this duality of contrasting tendencies and prolonging the war between flesh and spirit(Gal5:17) and not reaching his highest spiritual development in God/holiest faith (Jud:20). In this state he stays unprepared for the coming of the Lord, which requires spirit nature perfectly annihilating flesh resulting in stainless righteousness(Eph5:27). This is an eternal loss to the believer, preventing him attaining God's best on earth and eternity.
Picture the fact that the wheat competing for survival against the tares in the field will have to pull on every fibre within them making them stronger and more developed. A miniature example is found in cases like in M/E Islamic nations where Christian fellowships and access to bibles are prohibited. Notice that the believers in those settings are always greater in spirituality than we in less tense regions, because they've been forced to turn inwards to the greater One within them, practicalizing Rom12:21. Also imagine having an obnoxious partner at work, who is so annoying and always provoking you to anger, making it difficult to love as Christ prescribed or forgive when necessary(Mt5:44, Col3:13). His character will help you see the hidden anger and unchristlike resistance still dwelling within you which upon such exposure can then be brought before the throne of grace for elimination(Heb4:16).[/b]
So the tares will grow until the King Tare(the antichrist) shows up with a government of maximum sin promotion and injustice of tribulation against believers, before the Lord's return. Of course the believer mustn't wait for the Beast, he can begin to learn Christ within by true prayer, not the religious kind done in most centres today, but a true kind focused on finding Christ within Him, helped by the Holy Spirit, in stillness(not noise) practised in patient perseverance as well as bearing his cross, the fiery trials God allows Satan bring in his life, still towards learning to depend on Christ within. He must also be careful to distinguish his God-given cross from Satan's unchecked wickedness against all good, lest he suffer unnecessarily.

Yes, the field is the world. The wheat, the good seed are the children of the Kingdom and the tares are the children of the devil.

How does the wheat survive the overbearing influence of the tares since its known to tower high above the wheat?

The Lord Jesus Christ clearly pointed out in the above scriptures to let the tares and the wheat grow together because an attempt to pull out the tares could damage the wheat.
The harmful effects the tares/weeds have on the real plant could be overwhelming if not timely controlled.

Bodydialect57:

Aside mistaken identity by inexperienced gardeners/farmers that could lead to its (wheat) being uprooted, weeds/tares reduce farm productivity, invade crops, and aggressively compete for water, nutrients and sunlight, resulting in reduced crop yield and poor crop quality.

Bodydialect57:

In the face of those apparent dangers posed by the tares/weeds, why the coexistence till maturity?

Bodydialect57:

Will the wheat survive the growing together?

Bodydialect57:

How can a christian survive, as in, live an effective christian life in the midst of overwhelming mixed multitude?

Kobojunkie:

While the wheat has yet to produce yield, it is difficult to tell the wheat from the weed.

Kobojunkie:

Knowing this, God introduced his own Spirit as a sort of growth factor to aid the wheat in it's growth, ignoring the dangers that the weed may have posed had this factor not been introduced.

Kobojunkie:

Coexistence till maturity is meant to allow the wheat time it needs to produce fruit in 30, 60 and even 100 fold in some cases.

Bodydialect57:
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among, the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?,
29 [b]But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:24-30

See how thine eye is evil?

Rather than being thankful that NOT ONE INNOCENT AND GOOD SOUL WILL PERISH BECAUSE OF AN EVIL SOUL, you are rather wondering how it shall survive because of the presence of evil.

Moving forward, if you have truly been to a farm, you would have seen that Corns grow with grasses together, even though the farm was weeded off grasses at the first and there was no grass.

But, as they grow the Corns still grow up and bear Fruits even though the grasses, which were not there at the first, grew also.

Therefore, the Instruction of the parable is that if you belong to the Lord (Corn) You Are Able to Grow and Bear Fruits even though evil ( the grasses) are around You.

You Only Become A Grass if You Choose to Become One so Also as should You Choose to Become A Corn, it Shall be Done, if you Truly Desire It.
