In botany, hybrid variety are plant resulting from crossing, a plant produced from a cross between two plants with different genetic constituents.Hybrids from crosses between crop varieties are often stronger and produce better yields than the original stock.

There are tens of hundreds of rice crop varieties. Most are original varieties native in their original locations but imported to other countries. Some are hybrid rice variety, such as the cross between a specie of grass that resistant to drought and rice, in order to create a variety of rice that survives in rain or irrigation starved farms.

In short, not all rice are hybrid, but there are hybrid rice.
