Based on the information provided about the nitrogen cycle, the most accurate conclusion is:
**Bacteria is important in the cycle.**
Bacteria play a crucial role in various processes of the nitrogen cycle, such as nitrogen fixation, nitrification, and denitrification. The other options are inaccurate: nitrogen can enter plant roots through various processes, animals do play a role in the cycle (e.g., through decomposition and consumption of plants), and the nitrogen cycle occurs in various ecosystems, including aquatic environments, not just on land.
