Certain forms of bacteria are able to convert atmospheric nitrogen into usable forms such as nitrates and nitrites. Such nitrogen fixing bacteria are commonly found in the roots of legumes (plants of pulses) inside special structures called root nodules.

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic.

The Haber process is used by industry to produce ammonia from nitrogen .Ammonia is then used to make fertilisers that farmers spread on the soil to feed their crops. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria found in both the soil and root nodules of leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a form that can be used by plants.

Plants get nitrogen from fertilizers or manure added to the soil.A special type of plant , leguminous plant have a swelling like structure in that a bacteria named rhizobium lives which converts nitrogen into nitrates as plants cannot directly absorb nitrogen.
