ricefield

Flooded grain plot

A ricefield is a flooded or irrigated plot of land where rice is cultivated.

Rice grows in shallow standing water, so ricefields are typically flat, diked areas that can be flooded during the growing season: Terraced ricefields covered the hillside.

Also called a rice paddy or paddy field.
