rice plant

Wetland cereal crop

The rice plant is the cereal grass that produces rice, one of the world's most important food crops.

It grows in flooded paddies across tropical and temperate regions, with stalks reaching several feet tall and grain-bearing heads that droop when mature.

The rice plants swayed in the breeze before harvest.
