Rice contains spores that are not necessarily killed by heat. So, if you cook rice and then let it sit out at room temp. the spores could multiply to toxic levels and make you sick. If you store leftover rice in the refrigerator, it will be fine for a few days at least.

Because it has a high moisture content which supports bacteria growth.
