Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Solution:

Rhizobium forms nodules on the roots of legume plants. There are about a dozen species of Rhizobium which form association with different legume roots, e.g., R. leguminosarum, R. lupini, R. trifolii, R. meliloti, R. phaseoli. They develop the ability to fix nitrogen only when they are present inside the root nodules.
