Chinampas is a special word sort of for "floating gardens." The chinampas were created because of space. The Aztecs didn't have enough room for farmland, so they created the" floating gardens" in a river near the market. Everyday they would pull the rope to pull it in and pick the grown crops. After picking them they would put more seeds in and put it back out to float. They never had to water the chinampas because lived on the water.
The term chinampas was the method that the Aztecs used to reclaim land from a swamp near their capital. They did this by digging drainage canals.
Chinampas are man-made islands, not super big or super small. They were constructed out of mud, sticks, dirt and wooden poles (to keep it in place). They are sometimes referred to as 'floating island". They were made and used in the Aztec empire around their swampy island. The chinampas were used for growing crops. Almost of the the empires food was grown from the chinampas.

Well, I know that Aztecs were trading to get what they needed and also that they grew crops in Chinampas; crops like: maize, pumkin, tomato and peppers. Rich Aztec men were proposed to be Aztec priests and they were the ones that made sacrifices.

I think that the Aztec's created the 'floating gardens" or Chinampas. I am 99.9% sure but maybe not. Sorry if I get this question wrong. :)
The farmers in the Aztec empire used chinampas, which were artificial islands in lakes, to grow crops.

Aztec "floating gardens" called chinampas really didn't float, they were small man made islands. They were commonly used in Ancient Mexico and Central America and specifically in Tenochtitlan

The Aztecs benefited from chinampas, or floating gardens, by increasing their agricultural productivity. The chinampas provided fertile land for growing crops and allowed for multiple harvests each year. This helped support the large population of the Aztec Empire and ensured food security.

There were several of them, but the most important would be the Aztec civilization.
