Study Note #1: Rice Plant Learning Competencies: The learners should be able to: 1. Observe the root and shoot system in plants and describe why they are important (S4LT-2) Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, especially in the Philippines. It is a staple food that many people eat every day. How Does Rice Grow? Rice grows in stages, and it takes a few months from planting to harvesting. Here are the main stages:. 1. Germination - is the first step in the life cycle of rice, wherein the seed absorbs water, swells, and begins to sprout. Roots and a small shoot appear. 2. Tillering Stage - the plant produces more stems (called tillers), which will bear the panicles. 3. Panicle Initiation Stage - the rice plant starts to form the panicle inside the stem, which will later appear outside. A panicle is the part of the rice plant where the rice grains grow, like a bunch of tiny branches holding the grains. 4. Flowering Stage - the panicles emerge, and small flowers bloom, which will develop into rice grains. 5. Maturity Stage - the rice grains fully develop and harden, ready for harvest.
