sediment
It has formed some of the land forms on the earth. It has carried rich soil with vitamins to the edge of the river and deposited it there to grow pretty plants.
The floodplain is an area of flat land found on either side of a river that usually becomes wider as the river nears its mouth. A low watery formation of land at the mouth of a river is called a delta.
Meandering characterized a river's course when its flow begins to slow. Meanders form when slight irregularities in the flow cause the moving water to be directed towards a bank. This bank then erodes and at this point the river gets wider and the flow slows causing sediment to be deposited against the opposite bank. Eventually the process causes a large bend in the river and the river develops meanders.

Sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are fine bits of rock and soil that are deposited on land by a river. These sediments are carried by the river's current and then settle on the river banks and floodplains when the water slows down. Over time, these sediments contribute to the formation of fertile soil and landforms in river valleys.
Fine particles of fertile land that is deposited on the banks of a river after a flood
Land formed at the mouth of a river by deposited silt is known as a delta. It typically forms when the river's velocity decreases as it meets the ocean, causing sediment carried by the river to be deposited, building up land over time.

This land deposit you speak of is called a delta.

the bank of a river
The land formed by deposited soil at the mouth of a river is called a delta (named for the Greek letter, which is similarly triangular in shape).

The land area that includes soil carried downstream by a river and deposited at the rivers mouth is called a delta. The delta is also where the river enters the ocean or lake.
