​

Answer 1

No, rice plants will not grow better in shady areas.

Explanation:

• All plants require light energy from the Sun to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
• If the rice plants are grown in shady areas, then they will not receive enough sunlight and hence the growth of the plants will not be enhanced.
• Hence, the rice plants should be grown in areas with adequate amount of sunlight in order for them to grow properly.
