Explanation
Plants cannot take in nitrogen directly from the air because nitrogen as a gas is largely inert and inaccessible for plant roots. The process that transforms this inert gas into a more usable form by organisms is called nitrogen fixation, which is usually mediated by organisms, particularly bacteria influencing the Nitrogen Cycle.
