In developing countries, farmers sometimes plant rice seeds directly in the ground. More commonly, however, they sow seeds thickly in small seedbeds and transplant the seedlings to a flooded field after several weeks. This method reduces the length of time rice occupies the main field by about 15 to 20 days. This is important in areas where several crops are grown on the same land each year. Transplanting seedlings also permits better weed control. Fewer weeds are able to grow in the thickly sown seedbeds. In addition, farmers can remove weeds more easily in the main rice fields when the plants are larger.

So the answer to your question is, no, rice plants are not only planted once. :)
