Legumes typically have a taproot system, which consists of a main central root that grows deeper into the soil. This taproot can develop lateral roots that help anchor the plant and access nutrients and water. Additionally, many legumes form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in root nodules, enhancing their ability to thrive in nutrient-poor soils.

The nitrogen-fixing bacteria live in the root nodules of legumes.
Root beans, such as chickpeas, kidney beans, and black beans, are legumes that grow underground from a plant's root system. These beans are nutrient-dense and commonly used in various culinary dishes for their flavor and health benefits.

its the nutrients in the plants OJ :)poop
Legumes have nirtifying bacteria in their roots, but mostly they are found in the soil.
A legume.
Legume plants are notable for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, thanks to a symbiotic relationship with certain bacteria known as rhizobia found in root nodules of these plants. The ability to form this symbiosis reduces fertilizer costs for farmers and gardeners who grow legumes, and allows legumes to be used in a crop rotation to replenish soil that has been depleted of nitrogen. The nitrogen fixation ability of legumes is enhanced by the availability of calcium in the soil and reduced by the presence of ample nitrogen. Root nodules. via Wikipedia
No, not all legumes fix nitrogen in the soil. Only certain types of legumes, such as soybeans, clover, and peanuts, have the ability to fix nitrogen through a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in their root nodules.
Legumes are the plant family that restores nitrogen to the soil. Most of legumes have symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria in structures called root nodules.
