Rice (oryza sativa) is probably the single most consumed food grain in the world. it has been in existence for the last 7000 years. rice, an annual, is multi-stalked plant which grows to around a meter. the grains, borne by a panicle, are surrounded by bracts. air columns in the stalk enable the diffusion of air through the stem down to the roots. the process of threshing and winnowing, followed by milling and polishing, converts the harvest into the marketable product that people commonly consume.
