Nitrogen is the nutrient that may be fixed in plant roots. What happens is the presence, but unavailability, of nitrogen in the environment. In the case of the ground below surface level, nitrogen must be in soluble form in order to be used by the plant. Nitrogen fixing bacteria and nematodes may do this job on, in or around plant roots.

The ability to absorband retain nutrients so they will be available to the roots of plants
Why is phosphorus important to plant?
For plants, phosphorus is an important nutrient because they need it for cell division and growth. Without this nutrient, plants can exhibit signs of stunted roots and leaf problems. Two other important nutrients needed by plants are nitrogen and potassium.
