The rice keeps the salt dry and prevents it from clumping up. It keeps it dry by absorbing humidity (moisture) in the air. Caution! Be sure the holes in the salt shaker lid are not too large as to allow the rice grains to pass through. Otherwise, you will get rice mixed with the salt when you use it.
