Answer & explanation:

Some species of bacteria that are not harmful to plants can use nutrients from organic compounds in the soil, which will be reused by plants.

In addition, bacteria (and fungi too) can aid in the absorption of nutrients such as phosphorus and nitrogen (products of some chemical reactions of microorganisms) and can also offer additional resistance to harmful microorganisms to plants.
