Vegetables do have protein, a cup corn for example is about 5g of protein. No tall proteins are equal and it takes a blend of vegetables to create a "complete" protein, which is what eggs, beef, fish, etc provide. Beans (which cows don't eat) combined with rice provide "complete" proteins.
Bacteria is present and contributes as well, but it contributes very little protein.
