Rhizobium live freely in soil and in the root region of both leguminous and non-leguminous plants. However, they can enter into symbiosis only with leguminous plants, by infecting their roots and forming nodules on them.Rhizobium live freely in soil and in the root region of both leguminous and non-leguminous plants.

Hope this answers your query,
