Known as paddy fields the term derives from the Indonesian word "padi" which in itself means "rice plant". Now it all makes sense.

When the plant seedlings are between 3 to 7 weeks old they are transplanted to the flooded paddy field.
Growing rice requires one shit load of water to thrive. Hence, growing rice in water rather than land is the best option. Crucially for the plant to grow paddy fields keep the levels constant, and such a habitat is unsuitable for the growth of invasive weeds and pests
