Where are the nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in leguminous plants?

Leguminous plants:

1. A type of blooming plant known as "leguminous plants" are those that produce veggies or other foods from knobs in the ground that have a high nitrogen content.
2. Acacia, peas, clover, beans, and gorse are a few examples.
3. Leguminous plants have a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, that fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert it to nitrates and nitrites.

Nitrogen-fixing bacteria:

1. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria are prokaryotic microorganisms capable of converting nitrogen gas from the environment into plant-usable "fixed nitrogen" molecules like ammonia.
2. Nitrogen fixation is carried out by a variety of bacteria.
3. Rhizobium is the best-known nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
4. These leguminous plants develop nodules to house the bacteria.
5. The bacteria help fix atmospheric nitrogen and convert them to that form of nitrogen which is easier for plants to absorb.
