Paddy soil is a type of soil specifically used for growing rice, particularly in flooded fields known as paddy fields. This soil is rich in organic matter and nutrients, which support the growth of rice plants. Its unique properties allow it to retain water, creating the ideal conditions for rice cultivation. The formation of paddy soil occurs in wetland areas where water is abundant. The anaerobic conditions, caused by flooding, lead to the development of specific microorganisms that help decompose organic material. This process enriches the soil, making it fertile and suitable for rice farming, a staple food for many cultures worldwide.
