What does nodulation mean?
A process in which a plant, especially a legume, forms a symbiotic relationship with soil bacteria, leading to the fixation of nitrogen in the soil. A nodulation is also a slight movement of the head in agreement or assent.
Example
"The farmer noticed the nodulation on the soybean plant, indicating a healthy relationship with the nitrogen-fixing bacteria."
