Solution

Winnowing is the method in which heavier components of the mixture are separated from the lighter substances with the help of wind.
The heavier particle (rice grains) forms a separate heap as it falls vertically downward.
This method is used for separating grains from husk after the process of threshing.
Hence, after pounding, rice is separated from its husk by winnowing.
