Floods can add sediments and nutrients to soil.
The Earth's crust is solid, consisting of rock, soil, and sediments.
Erosion, decomposition of organic matter, and the addition of fertilizers or compost can all contribute to the accumulation of sediments and nutrients in soil. These processes can help improve soil fertility and promote plant growth.
When silt or soil is deposited at the mouth of a river it often creates a landform called a river delta.

Windblown glacial sediments.

Alluvial soil is called riverine soil because it is formed by the deposition of sediments carried by rivers and streams. These sediments are rich in nutrients, making alluvial soil very fertile and suitable for agriculture.
The term that best describes the combination of soil and water is "soil moisture." Soil moisture refers to the water content present in the soil, which is essential for plant growth and ecosystem stability.
