In terms of keeping the most people alive I would certainly say Rice, It feeds a higher percentage of the world;’s population than any other.
Work is still going on to make rice even better at saving lives! A company has invented “Golden Rice” which has been genetically modified by borrowing a gene from Daffodils which enriched the plant with vitamin A.
We need to eat vitamin A because without it we can go blind, or even die :(, we get lots of vitamin A from Carrots. But in some parts of the world foods rich in vitamin A are scarce.
For these reasons, in my opinion Rice saves the most lives and has the potential to save millions more!
