Sushi originates from which country?
It really depends on how you look at it. Sushi's first origins were arguably in China. Fish was stored in fermented rice as a means of preserving it, but the rice was never actually eaten with the fish. It was thrown away, so if you consider fish stored in rice to be the origin, then the answer would be China. After the storage idea had migrated to Japan, the Japanese took it further, and started eating the rice with the fish. It wasn't until the early 17th century, once again in Japan, that they started to season the rice (instead of the long process of fermenting it), and selling it as "sushi." Japan later sparked many further developments of this food type. So, if you mean the current food form, I would say Japan.

What does a rice plant look like?
Well, the cycle of rice is technically a cycle. It starts when rice farmers flood the nursery fields and grow seedlings in them. The next step is plough the fields. After that, you replant the seed and thresh them. Then, you dry the rice in the sun to crack the husks. Finally is the winnowing step. This is when you throw rice around in a tray so all the husks fly away and the rice will drop into the tray. Then, you sell that rice and get money to buy more seeds.
