I think it's partly the wide variety of uses, especially the "Spheres of Fire" part and the "makeable into clothes that make you fire/magmaproof" part. Especially the latter--why don't they burn the wearer, if they're hot enough to burn other food they're stockpiled with?

     Rice:
  This or other plants that people use today. I picked rice because you can a) Make rice wine, b) store rice and eat it as it is, and c) Rice would be easy food for beginners, no need for a kitchen, just eat!

Umm, you'd need a kitchen. Have you ever tried eating uncooked rice? Not very tasty.
Rice is the main reason Japan was so successful, for the uses of rice I mentioned above. They just beat the crap out of the rice plant to get the actual rice then ate it.

Perhaps, but DF does make sense when it comes to the laws of physics. That's why adamantine war hammers are so bad.

I think Trifids would be a great addition to dwarf fortress. Maybe the plants from Jumanji as well?

Critical hit! It's super effective!

"You scratch the Giant Tiger in the Upper Body, tearing the muscle, shattering the right false rib and tearing apart the heart! An artery has been opened by the attack! A major artery in the heart has been opened by the attack! A tendon in the false right rib has been torn!"
