Rhizobium bacteria are present in the _____ of leguminous plants.

  • A.Roots
  • B.Leaves
  • C.Fruits
  • D.Flowers

Answer: A

Correct answer: Roots

Rhizobium lives in nodules on the roots of legumes - peas, beans, gram, groundnut. The nodule is a structure the plant builds around the bacteria, and its pink colour comes from leghaemoglobin, which keeps oxygen away from the nitrogenase that oxygen would destroy.
