Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular nitrogen in the air is converted into ammonia or related nitrogenous compounds in soil or aquatic systems. Atmospheric nitrogen is molecular dinitrogen, a relatively nonreactive molecule that is metabolically useless to all but a few microorganisms.

Answer:

 \huge nitrogen \: fixation

Explanation:

Detention » Nitrogen fixation is the process by which atmospheric nitrogen is converted by either a natural or an industrial means to a form of nitrogen such as ammonia. In nature, most nitrogen is harvested from the atmosphere by microorganisms to form ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates that can be used by plants.

Nitrogen is an important nutrient needed by plants. Nitrogen help plants form proteins. proteins, in turn, help to promote healthy growth in plants. Even though nitrogen present in atmosphere in abundance, plants cannot us it in this form. It has to converted into soluble compounds of nitrogen like nitrates and nitrites, which can be absorbed by the plants.

This is called nitrogen fixation.
