The sand and pebbles deposited by a river are called sediment. This material accumulates in various forms, such as sandbars and riverbanks, as the river slows down and loses its carrying capacity. Over time, these sediments can contribute to the formation of deltas and floodplains. The process of sedimentation plays a crucial role in shaping river landscapes and ecosystems.
The material deposited by a river is called sediment. The bits of organic debris such as leaves and stems is detritus. Sediment includes detritus, inorganic material such as pebbles, sand, clay and other rock bits.

That is called a river 'delta'.
Sediments such as pebbles, sand, and silt that are carried and eventually deposited by a river are known as alluvium. Over time, these sediments can accumulate and form features like riverbanks, floodplains, and deltas.
The soil deposited at the mouth of a river is called silt.

no, its the flood plain
The earth and sand deposited there are called "sediments" and they build up to form what is called a "delta"; a triangular wedge shaped like the Ancient Greek letter "D" - hence "delta".

The soil or sediments itself is called silt, and the landform that is often created at the mouths of rivers is called a river delta. Sand bars are also created in rivers and other waterways by deposited silt.
