    Glossary Legume

    fixes nitrogen in soil through symbiosis with root bacteria

    A legume is a type of plant in the family Fabaceae, or the fruit or seed of such a plant, which is commonly used as food. Examples include beans, peas, lentils, and peanuts. Legumes are notable for their ability to fix nitrogen in the soil through a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in their root nodules, making them valuable in crop rotation and sustainable agriculture.
