The baking soda does not rise.

It produces a chemical reaction that gives off carbon dioxide, CO2.

It's the evolved CO2 gas that causes rising.

You can also let yeast do the same thing, it just takes longer.

What are the real-world appilcations of knowing the difference between baking soda and baking powder?

whether or not your cakes or biscuits rise correctly. Baking Powder is baking soda along with the addition of an acid, such as alum or cream of tartar (tartaric acid) which aids in the breakdown of the soda to make the recipe "rise" better. Using soda without an added acid, the recipe will not rise as much; often when just soda is used the recipe will call for the addition of lemon juice or vinegar to aid in rising.
