Some questions to clarify;

How does nitrogen help plants?

It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Without proteins, plants wither and die.

How does nitrogen help humans?

It is used to make amino acids in our body which in turn make proteins. It is also needed to make nucleic acids, which form DNA and RNA. Humans or other species on earth require nitrogen in a 'fixed' reactive form. Till 1900 we had an access to use naturally occurring nitrogen for processing food like manure

Nitrogen is a key element in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA, which are the most important of all biological molecules and crucial for all living things. DNA carries the genetic information, which means the instructions for how to make up a life form
