A flood plain is a flat land bordering a river made up of alluvium (clay, sand and silt) deposited during floods. When a river overflows, the floodplain is covered with water. Hope this helps :)

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.

What happens when a river over flows it bank?
Well if your question is "what happens when a river overflows its banks" Then my answer is simple, it floods. A river overflows when extra or excessive water is added e.g. prolonged percipitation(rainfall). Or another case would be pressure added in a section of the river causing the eureka theory and the water level will rise causing an overflow. This simply leads to a flooding of the surrounding area ,depending on the volume of water and the terrain surrounding determines the spread of flooding.
