The correct answer is

Fern

The correct answer is Fern.

In return, the fern provides the cyanobacterium with protection and a stable environment within specialized cavities in its leaves. This symbiotic nitrogen fixation makes Azolla highly valuable in agriculture, particularly in areas where synthetic fertilizers are expensive or unavailable. It is widely used as a green manure or biofertilizer in rice cultivation, improving soil fertility and increasing crop yields. This ecological role is a significant reason why Azolla is studied and cultivated.
