Where is a floodplain formed?
A floodplain is the land that is covered by water when a river overflows it's banks. When this happens, silt and clay are deposited over time and the land on either side of the river flattens out. Any depressions in the land will hold water when the river level returns to normal after flooding and therefore more clay and silt will be deposited there filling it up.

Land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth?
A "Delta", so-called because of the tendency of the 'channels' created by hydrologic soil deposition to frequently vary their courses due to creation of impedences to linear flow caused by precipitation of the colloidally-suspended particles of soil which fall out of suspension as the velocity of the water is reduced, raising the floor of the channels, thus forcing the flow to seek an easier [more lateral] route. "Delta" is used in a mathematical sense, meaning "variation".
