Answer:
Difference: Rice - paler and thinner oval while corn is yellow and squatter and parallelogram in shape.
Similarities: Both are grass variety, they are monocots.
Explanation:
- In comparison to maize, rice is paler and thinner, with seeds that appear more oval (or oblong) in shape.
- If the corn kernel is turned upside down, the bottom portion is more curled and smoother, and the kernel tends to be more yellow and squatter with a parallelogram-like appearance.
- The plants themselves are distinct; for example, corn grows much taller, has broader leaves, and has its corncobs directly next to the stems.
- In contrast, rice has considerably narrower leaves and its seeds are produced from the top of the plant in a shape known as a raceme, where the seed head is somewhat lacy rather than tightly packed like it is with corn.
Rice:
- Rice is made from the seed of the grass Oryza sativa, sometimes known as Asian rice, or the less common Oryza glaberrima (African rice).
- Although the phrase can also be used to refer to wild or uncultivated types of Oryza, wild rice is typically used to refer to species of the genera Zizania and Porteresia.
Corn:
- Zea mays, also known as corn, is a tall annual cereal grass that is commonly cultivated for its enormous, elongated ears of starchy seeds.
- The seeds, which are commonly known as maize, are processed into a variety of important compounds as well as food for humans and cattle as well as a source of biofuel.
