When a plant dies, most of the nitrogen it contains is released back into the soil as organic matter decomposes. Decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, break down the plant's tissues, converting nitrogen into forms that can be reused by other plants, like ammonium and nitrate. This process recycles nitrogen in the ecosystem, making it available for new plant growth. Ultimately, the nitrogen contributes to soil fertility, supporting future plant life.

Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plants. it is needed for the production of amino acids which make up proteins. it is also needed for the production of enzymes as they are made of proteins. Nitrogen is also the main component of chlorophyll. Without nitrogen, plants are unable to grow and Photosynthesize.
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
Nitrogen is the major plant nutrient most likely to be a limiting factor, as it is essential for plant growth and development. Inadequate nitrogen levels can result in stunted growth, reduced yield, and poor overall plant health. Agricultural practices often involve the addition of nitrogen fertilizers to ensure optimal plant nutrition and growth.
Nitrogen is one of the most important elements in organic compounds along with Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Soil in most areas are rich in Oxygen, Carbon, and Hydrogen, but the Nitrogen composition is usually close to the bare minimum for a plant's existence. In order for a plant to truly thrive, Nitrogen enriched fertilizers are necessary.

Nitrogen is considered to be the most limiting nutrient in a plant's growth and development.
In a hydroponic system, the most limiting nutrient for plant growth is typically nitrogen.
I don't think it is a gas when inside the plant, but most animals/plants need it.
