Answer to the USA Today crossword clue Bump on the roots of some plants featured in the USA Today puzzle is NODULE.

In botany, the term "nodule" refers to a specialized structure that develops on the roots of certain plants, particularly legumes such as peas, beans, and clovers. These nodules are formed through a symbiotic relationship with nitrogen-fixing bacteria known as rhizobia.

The process begins when the plant roots release specific compounds that attract these bacteria. Once attracted, the bacteria infect the root hairs and trigger the formation of nodules. Inside these nodules, the bacteria convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which the plant can then use as a nutrient source.
