Nitogen Fixation is a process in which nitrogen in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia.This atmospheric nitrogen does not easily combine with any other chemicals to form new compounds. So, the fixation process freeze nitrogen atoms from their triply bonded diatomic form. :)

PLANTS CAN NOT CONSUME FREE OR ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN FOR THE GROWTH AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL PROCESS.SO IT HAD TO TAKE DISSOLVED NITROGEN BY CONVERTING FREE NITROGEN INTO AMMONIA OR AMMONIUM SALTS WITH THE HELP OF MICRO ORGANISM BY A PROCESS CALLED NITROGEN FIXATION

Nitrogen fixation is a process in which nitrogen (N2) in the atmosphere is converted into ammonia (NH3). Atmospheric nitrogen or molecular dinitrogen (N2) is relatively inert: it does not easily react with other chemicals to form new compounds .

Bacteria such as RHIZOBIUM and certain blue - green algae present in the soil can fix atmospheric nitrogenous compound. These nitrogenous compound can be easily utilised by plants for the synthesis of plant protiens and other compounds
