Solution

Nitrogen gas forms 78% of the air but is not available for use as such by plants. It must be fixed or converted into a usable form. The atmospheric nitrogen is fixed by bacteria living in the root nodules of leguminous plants such as peas and beans.
So, the correct answer is 'leguminous'.
