General knowledge
The roots of leguminous plants have nodules containing Rhizobium bacteria, which fix nitrogen from the air in the soil.
GK के लिए याद रखें कि leguminous पौधों की जड़ों में गाँठें (nodules) होती हैं जिनमें Rhizobium bacteria रहते हैं, जो हवा की nitrogen को मिट्टी में स्थिर (fix) करते हैं।
