Nitrogen gas is very stable because there is a triple bond between each atom of Nitrogen in a molecule of N2. This bond is very hard to break and it must be broken before it can react with anything. This process almost always uses more energy than you get back.
Nitrogen must be in the form of ammonia (NH3), nitrate (NO3−), or nitrite (NO2−) to be used by living organisms. These forms are essential for synthesizing amino acids and nucleotides, which are critical for proteins and genetic material. Plants typically absorb nitrate and ammonium from the soil, while animals acquire nitrogen by consuming plants or other animals.
Nitrogen is a main component of our DNA, which is the genetics material of all living organisms.

The sequences for nitrogen bases for all living organisms is what makes up DNA and therefore their genes.

Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is in a very stable form (N2) and requires a large amount of energy to be converted into a usable form by living organisms. This process, called nitrogen fixation, is carried out mainly by specialized bacteria. It is energetically demanding and cannot be done by most organisms, making the integration of atmospheric nitrogen into the biosphere challenging.
I think it's called the 'nitrogen cycle' .

Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is transformed by nitrogen-fixing bacteria into ammonia or nitrate, which are forms of nitrogen that can be absorbed and utilized by plants and other living organisms.
No, nitrogen gas cannot be directly used by most living organisms. Instead, nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the soil or in plant roots convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form (ammonia or nitrates) that can be used by plants to make proteins. Other organisms then obtain nitrogen by consuming these plants.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium and Azotobacter, are capable of converting gaseous nitrogen in the air into a form that other living organisms can use, such as ammonia or nitrate. These bacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants, providing them with usable nitrogen in exchange for carbohydrates.
Decomposers are responsible for producing nitrogen compounds, This continual transfer of nitrogen from the non living part of the environment to the living part and back again is called the nitrogen cycle.
