Answers:
risotto rice is a different kind of of rice. Savoury rice would tend to be made using long grain, like basmati rice.
Arborio rice, is a smaller grain, and is the most popular short grain rice used for making risotto.
The short grain grain rice expands and looses its shape while cooking, it absorbs the liquid, and it's the breakdown of the grain that gives it a creamy texture.
Risotto , is cooked slowly , stock is gradually added until the rice thickens. cheese is added at the end, some cream can be added to give extra richness, but the dish would be creamy either way.
Savoury rice, the grain is still intact, or at least it should be.
