Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: the adjective 'white' modifies 'rice' to indicate rice that is white in colour, so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the (polished) variety of rice with white grains. This simple adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and follows standard English modification, making the phrase immediately understandable from its parts.
Etymology
White rice gets its name from the way white describes the pale look of the rice after people remove the outer layers and polish the grain. So 'white rice' means rice that has had its outer parts taken away and is left as the soft, white grain we eat.
