The vegetated area next to a river or stream is called the riparian zone. This zone plays a crucial role in maintaining the health of aquatic ecosystems by providing habitat for wildlife, stabilizing banks, and filtering pollutants from runoff. Riparian zones help regulate water temperature and contribute to the overall biodiversity of the area.
