Answer / arun kumar ag

leguminous plants have nodules on their roots containing
bacteria which can fix nitrogen contained in the air in the
soil. This nitrogen becomes available to the plant, which

its cells. Other types of plant cannot do this, and have
available only the nitrate which is already present in the
water in the soil.
