An essential element would be one which would be required by all the plants for completing their life cycle. I have not yet read any article which would put cobalt into this category, however it is considered beneficial element i.e. an element which would be required for the optimum growth of the plant. It is also essential for some of the leguminous species but that also is because of their symbiotic association with the bacteria which require cobalt to fix nitrogen as it possess Vit B12 which contain Co. hope this would help you. I am also looking for its key role in plants if you find any article please do send me a link.
