Yes. Vascular plants can absorb nitrogen compounds such as nitrates from the soil on their own.
What plants can't do on their own is fix nitrogen from the air into nitrogen compounds. Some plants including legumes (such as peas, beans, lupins) and casuarinas form symbioses with nitrogen-fixing bacteria to form nitrogen into nitrogen compounds.

Two ways by which plants get nitrogen compounds?
Some essential nitrogen compounds can be absorbed by plants from the soil in which they grow. the nitrogen compounds can be provided to the soil by nitrogen-fixing bacteria living in association with the plants and/or from fertilizers. Some nitrogen compounds can also be input to the soil from lightning strikes that provide activation energy to facilitate the reaction of atmospheric nitrogen to produce absorbable nitrogen compounds that can be carried into soil by rain.
How does nitrogen get out of soil?
From lightening and nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the roots of certain plants.
Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
How do plants get the nitrogen they need?
From the soil by the roots or fixation from the air
How do plants take nitrogen from the atmosphere?
Plants absorb nitrate compounds from soil through their root hairs, which are outgrowths of the trichoblast cells in the roots.Most plants are not able to use nitrogen as such (N2), though some, including legumes and casuarinas, supply water and food to symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in specialised root nodules, and these fix nitrogen to nitrate which they supply to the plants.
What happens to the nitrogen compounds that are not absorb by the plants?
A number microbes in the soil, water and air transform these nitrogen compounds
How does nitrogen enter a food web?
Nitrogen enters the food web when plants absorb nitrogen compounds from the soil and convert them into proteins.

Where does plants get nitrogen?
when animals eat plants,they get nitrogen compounds that their bodies need.plants do not make these nitrogen compounds. so from where do plants get their nitrogen compounds/ from the air
Which element found in the soil is used by plants in the form of chemical compounds?
Nitrogen is needed by plants and they get it from the soil in compounds that contain the nitrogen.
Do plants absorb nitrogen from soil and water?
Just soil
When there is not enough nitrogen in the atmosphere for plants how do the plants get it?
Plants do not actually get their nitrogen from the atmosphere. They get it in compounds in the soil through their roots. Some plants form symbiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil. The bacteria draw nitrogen from the air and form nitrogen compounds. The plants can then use the nitrogen.
What is the name of the nitrogen containing salts which plants absorb from the soil?
plants absorb amonnia or nitrate
In what form do plants absorb nitrogen?
Nitrogen is needed for all life forms, including plants. Plants absorb nitrogen from soil through their roots in the form of nitrate and ammonia.
Compounds in the soil used by the plants?
nitrogen and other organic manure.
How do plants get the nitrogen they need?
From the soil by the roots or fixation from the air
