Answer: soil

Explanation: Soil

According to 2 sources

Plants get the nitrogen that they need from the soil, where it has already been fixed by bacteria and archaea. Bacteria and archaea in the soil and in the roots of some plants have the ability to convert molecular nitrogen from the air (N 2) to ammonia (NH 3), thereby breaking the tough triple bond of molecular nitrogen.
