A foodplain is a flat or nearly flat land adjacent a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge.
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.

The sides are known as the river bank or river banks.
It leaves silt that builds up the land around the river banks.
A flood plain is a flat or gently sloping area near a river or stream that is prone to flooding. It forms when the river overflows its banks and deposits sediment on the adjacent land. Over time, this repeated flooding creates the flat surface of a flood plain.
