Answer:

Nitrate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nitrogen Assimilation in plants is the process of plants absorbing nitrogen from the soil in the form of nitrate (NO3-) and ammonium (NH4+). This nitrate is usually the predominant form of the available nitrogen that is absorbed by the plant.

Hope this helps!
