When floods run down they also bring a lot of organic material along with them. Floods also tend to grind up stones/sand to a certain degree.
Where the flood deposits this material it helps fertilize the soil.
A lot of water keeps the soil very moist, which also increases the rate of organic material to decompose (Bacteria and various insects/larva and of course also fungus does this)
Decomposed organic material are the building blocks for new plant life.
As we humans eat dead animals (Meat, although not decomposed), plants "eat" or rather suck up the nutrition from the decomposed material left around.

Why are floodplains good farming areas?
Floodplains are good farming areas because they have fertile soil due to regular flooding that deposits nutrient-rich sediments. The water also helps to irrigate crops during dry periods, reducing the need for additional watering. Finally, floodplains can support a variety of crops and vegetation due to the diverse habitats created by the mixture of water and land.

Did ancient farmers live next to floodplains?
Yes, ancient farmers often lived next to floodplains because floodplains provided fertile soil for agriculture. The annual flooding of the nearby rivers deposited nutrient-rich sediment onto the floodplains, making the land ideal for farming. Farmers utilized the regular inundation of floodwaters to irrigate their crops and maximize agricultural production.
