In Mandarin Chinese, 禾 (Pinyin: hé 🔊) is a noun that means “rice plant” or, more generally “grain” or “cereal”. As a radical, 禾 is found in many hanzi related to crops and farming.
According to Wiktionary, 禾 is a pictogram of a plant stalk. I’m sure you’ve noted the similarity with 木 “tree” and 米 “rice”.
