Answer:

Rice plants possesses several traits which allow sthem to grow in large amount of water because standing water helps them to produce air channel known as aerenchyma that connects roots with shoots and transport oxygen to submerged tissues. Standing water also help many weed to grow and rice plants also takes nutrients from them as well.

Genes are responsible for the traits that allow rice plants to grow in large amount of water but if the gene of rice plant is genetically modified with new gene which is resistant to drought, that can allow the rice to grow in less water.

The genetically modified rice plant then do not require large amount of water and can grow easily.

What is the main difference between renewable and nonrenewable resources
Julli [10]
<span>The main difference of renewable and non-renewable resources lies in the capacity of the environment to replenish itself. Renewable resources are resources that can be easily replenished by the environment over a short period of time, while non-renewable resources take more time. <span>

Examples of renewable resources are solar energy, harnessing the sun's power that shines day to day. Wind energy that exists naturally is also a renewable source. Geothermal energy, heat coming from the center of the Earth, and Biofuels, fuels made from living organisms, are all renewable energy. 

<span>Non-renewable energy resources are the fuels we use in our cars, minerals from the soil, coal, among others are supplies that also come from Earth. These are all materials that might take a long time (probably millions of years) to be fully restored. </span>
