Does rhizobium show symbiosis?


Open in App
Solution

Rhizobium:

  1. A bacteria called rhizobium is found in soil and aids in the nitrogen fixation process in leguminous plants.
  2. It grows nodules and affixes to the leguminous plant's roots.
  3. A relationship or interaction between two separate creatures that live in a similar habitat is referred to as symbiosis.
  4. Rhizobium forms a link with its host plant which allows it to fix nitrogen.
  5. During this time, nodules form on plant roots, where microorganisms convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia.
