An actinorhiza is referred to as a root nodule formed as a result of a symbiotic relationship between an actinomycete and fine plant roots. [1] To further clarify what an actinorhiza is, refer to the following:

Root Nodule: A small knot or joint on a stem or root, especially one containing nitrogen-fixing bacteria [1]

Symbiotic: A relationship with mutual benefit between two individuals or organisms [1]

Actinomycete: Any of various bacteria (order Actinomycetales) with a branching, filamentous structure [1]
