Detailed explanation-1: -Rhizobium is a bacterium found in the root nodules of leguminous plants. It induces the formation of special structures called nodules inside which it fixes atmospheric nitrogen. It does this with the help of nitrogenase enzyme that converts of nitrogen to ammonium that is an important factor required for plant growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Leguminous family They contain symbiotic bacteria called rhizobia within the nodules, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants. When the plant dies, the fixed nitrogen is released, making it available to other plants, and this helps to fertilize the soil.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rhizobium is a genus of bacteria associated with the formation of root nodules on plants. These bacteria live in symbiosis with legumes.
