Dear student,
 
The body of the insect transforms into amino acids, peptides, phosphates, ammonia, etc which provides the plant its required nitrogen and phosphorus content and helps them to survive in soils too poor for most plants to grow. So, the correct answer is “Grows in soils which lack nitrogen”.
