It could be. There is a Rashi in Brachos who says that Orez is millet and that something else means rice. Therefore, according to Rashi, rice might be Adamah. The problem with this is that Rashi was from France and spoke neither Arabic nor Spanish. If he had known those two languages, he would have known that Orez is rice. (Rice is Aruz and Aros in those two languages, respectively.)
