bacteroid
A bacteroid is a form of the bacterium Rhizobium which lives in a symbiotic relationship within the root nodules of leguminous plants and is responsible for nitrogen fixation. The Rhizobium bacteria change their shape from rod-shaped to a Y shape during this process, hence they are called bacteroids. The process of nitrogen fixation allows plants to convert nitrogen from the atmosphere into a form they can use for growth.
