Answer 2

Long grain rice grows on a rice plant like all other rice seeds.

Rice is normally grown as an annual plant, although in tropical areas it can survive as a perennial. The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while, or after, setting the young seedlings. While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice, all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil.

There are many varieties of rice and long grain rice is one.

Thai Jasmine rice is long-grain. Chinese restaurants often serve long-grain as plain unseasoned steamed rice though short-grain rice is common as well. Japanese mochi rice and Chinese sticky rice are short-grain. Chinese people use sticky rice which is properly known as "glutinous rice" to make zongzi. The Japanese table rice is a sticky, short-grain rice. Japanese sake rice is another kind as well.
