What term describes a stream or small river that flows into a larger river?

A small freshwater river or stream flowing into a larger river is called a tributary or feeder river. A tributary is a stream or river that flows into a mainstem (or parent) river or a lake. For example, a tributary can be a creek that flows into a river. Or it can be a small river that flows into a larger river. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Some large rivers can have up to 100 tributaries. The spot where the smaller and larger river meet is called a "confluence". In contrast, a body of water that branches off and flows away from the main river is called a distributary.
