Are you sure they grow in your biome?  All plants don't grow everywhere.  Some do.  Most don't.

IRL, rice is a wetland crop, most breeds don't do well without at least heavy watering.

It's normal. You might have access to plants and plant seeds, but the biome you embarked in does not support the growth of these plants.

Is there a list of what masterwork crops grow in what biome anywhere?

Rice and maize aren't masterwork crops, they are from the base game and can be found under "crop" on the wiki, which lists biome requirements for all crops. http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Crop In the case of rice, it requires a wet or dry tropical biome to grow, while maize requires a dry tropical biome.

If you download an older version (such as Ye Olde Masterwork) there's a Quick Guides folder with an html file on the Masterwork plants.  It's pretty much still accurate for biome, uses, etc.  There's not a linkable Wiki page but it's an easy thing to pin to a bar.
