There are some nitrogen fixing bacteria which live in close association with the plants in their roots as nodules. Both the bacteria and the plant are capable of independent existence but live with each other for a mutually beneficial association, hence called symbiosis. The bacteria covert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia which can be absorbed by the plant to be utilized.
