I think your question should be rephrased to: "what does nitrogen do for a plant?"

Nitrate is one of the two forms of nitrogen that a plant can take up: the other is ammonium. Nitrogen is one of the essential elements a plant needs, and one of the more abundant ones in terms of total mass per gram of dried plant. It is an essential component in proteins and nucleic acids, and secondary metabolites.
