Glenda, most systems use either mechanical or vacume to operate the vent doors on the airflow ducts. You either have a vacume leak or the mechanical lever needs adjustment. . John In Montana

Why would the ac and heater blow air through the defroster or the dashboard vents but not through the floor vents.?
It should blow through the floor vents. Modern vehicles generally use movable baffles in there HVAC systems, to direct air flow where the controls indicate. If the controls allow airflow to the floor, but nothing flows out, there is a malfunction between the control switch and the actuator that directs the flow.

You didn't mention what vehicle you have but in most vehicles the heater core is located under the dash on the passenger side.

Why does a 2003 dodge caravan se front passenger side floor board is wet?
I have a 2003 Town and Country. I had the same problem - passenger floor being wet. Problem - your heater core is leaking. The heater core typically drains onto the ground through a small drain hose. Your heater core is leaking at the mechanism which is located under the dashboard on the passenger side. You can pull the carpet back and look up under the dash and see the heater core housing, and also confirm the origin point of the leak. I live in Florida and don't use my heater. Therefore, I capped the heater core. Any local repair shop can explain how to do this. If you need your heat and can't live with wet floor, you will need to have it fixed.
Why is water on the front floor of the car?
It is probably the heater coil. When it stops working water from the radiator goes back through a hose and when it overfills it emptys into the passenger side floor. You can replace the heater coil or bypass the hoses. Second option will cause heater to stop working.
Why does the interior of a car fog up even if ac blower and heater core are working properly?
I have had this happen on a number of my cars as they get older...each and every time it was due to small leaks developing in the heater core, leading to heavily moisturized air being blown through the defroster, rather than the dehumidified air that the A/C would generally create. (Yes, the AC runs when you're in defroster mode, even if you have the heat set to high...this is deliberate because the AC tends to remove moisture from the air.) Check your floor carpets, especially up near the drivetrain hump and front of the passenger footwell. Damp? You have a heater core problem. Solutions: None easy. The heater core on most modern cars and trucks is generally difficult to get to. Since this has happened to me on OLD cars that I would use and not my wife, I would generally bypass the heater completely, running the water intake hose to where the water return hose attaches to the engine. But then you have no heater or defroster at all. Brrrrr.

As long as you buy a floor heater that was made recently, you should be okay. If you were to buy an old used floor heater, I would be cautious. Whenever you use a floor heater however, you need to put it in a safe place and never leave it on if you go out of the house.
