I don't think it's symbiotic so much as it is a positive feedback loop that's beneficial for both. More plants, more bacteria, more water. This is unrelated to plants making the weather, but it is related to how plants can drive and sustain beneficial positive feedback loops, and may give a sense of how they could do something similar with promoting rain:
