A lake is the biggest body of water that is surrounded by water on all sides. The largest lake in the world is the Caspian Sea - so called because it is comprised of salt water and the ancient Romans called it a sea like every other salt water body they had encountered. However, as the Caspian Sea is bounded by land on every side, it is by definition a lake.
