A small river or stream that branches from a larger river is commonly referred to as a tributary. Tributaries contribute to the flow and volume of the main river, often draining into it and enhancing its ecosystem. They can vary greatly in size and length, and their confluence with the larger river can significantly influence the hydrology and sediment dynamics of the area.
