Dandelion roots do not fix nitrogen. Nitrogen fixation is a process typically performed by certain bacteria that live in symbiosis with plant roots, particularly legumes. Dandelions, like many other non-leguminous plants, absorb nitrogen from the soil rather than converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form. However, dandelions can benefit soil health by improving its structure and providing organic matter when they decompose.
In dandelion roots, the bacteria that can fix nitrogen are primarily from the genus Rhizobium. These symbiotic bacteria associate with the plant's root system, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that the plant can utilize for growth. This relationship enhances the nutrient profile of the soil, benefiting both the dandelion and surrounding plants.
