The toad you're referring to is likely the Surinam toad (Pipa pipa). Unlike most amphibians, which lay eggs in water, the Surinam toad has a unique reproductive strategy where the female carries fertilized eggs embedded in her back skin until the tadpoles emerge. This adaptation allows her to protect the developing young from aquatic predators.
