Can i have multiple copies Rimewood Falls in my commander?
I am putting together a Simic Commander deck. I was going through the listing of land cards on the Magic Gatherer Database, and came upon Rimewood Falls from Kaldheim. The page for Rimewood Falls says that the rarity of the card is Basic Land. This had me questioning other duel "Basic land type". I looked at Tangled Islet from Dominaria United set it too says basic land. Other cards I saw were Tropical Island, which says it is not a basic land just has basic land types, and Highland Forest, which is rarity says basic land for Kaldheim but common for Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate.
I do have a feeling that the answer is that I'm allowed only of copy of Rimewood Falls in the commander but I just want to be sure.

The "Basic Land" rarity you saw is probably because Kaldheim was one of the expansions where the basic land slot in draft boosters was also used for common multi-lands to help smooth out draft and sealed play.
The key thing to know is that having the "Basic" supertype on the type line is what determines whether a land is a basic land (for full-art/textless cards, you refer to a standard English-language printing to determine the text). Island has this and Snow-Covered Forest does too, but Rimewood Falls doesn't. It isn't a basic land.

I just looked up the Gatherer page to confirm, and that's strange they have Basic Land listed as rarity, instead of Common?
I checked the entry for Rimewood Falls on its Scryfall entry, and it has its rarity listed as a common. Your suspicion is correct that you can only have 1 copy, since it is not a Basic Land. If it were a Basic Land, it would have it listed like Forest or Snow-Covered Island.
All that being said, I'd recommend utilizing Scryfall for card searches.
