Dear student 
The Cannizzaro reaction is when a non-enolizable aldehyde reacts with itself in a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), to form a carboxylic acid and an alcohol. A non-enolizable aldehyde is one that has no alpha hydrogens available for the aldehyde to form an enol.
The oxygen atoms undergo reduction, gaining electrons, while the carbon atoms undergo oxidation, losing electrons. Thus oxygen is the oxidizing agent and carbon the reducing agent in this reaction
