Wild rice is an annual, cross-pollinated plant that grows in flooded soils. Plants normally reach five to six feet in height and produce multiple tillers, or stems. The stems are hollow, except at the nodes where the leaves, roots, and flowers appear. The plant has a shallow root system with a lateral spread of 8 to 12 inches.
