A legume in nitrogen-poor soil forms nodules. Which benefit does the plant gain?

💡 Explanation

The legume benefits from increased access to fixed nitrogen because Rhizobium bacteria within the nodules convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, a usable form for the plant; therefore, fixed nitrogen access rises rather than photosynthetic rates increasing or fungal resistance increasing.
