Answer:
They contain symbiotic bacteria called rhizobia within nodules in their root systems, producing nitrogen compounds that help the plant to grow and compete with other plants. When the plant dies, the fixed nitrogen is released, making it available to other plants; this helps to fertilize the soil.

Answer: there are special bacteria called rhizobium which breaks nitrogen from atmosphere into its compound so that it can be used by plants.
This process is called nitrogen fixation.
