Answer:

A flood plain or floodplain is a flat area of land next to a river or stream. It stretches from the banks of the river to the outer edges of the valley. ... Flood plains are naturally very fertile due to the river sediment which is deposited there. This sediment is good for growing plants on the flood plain.

Floodplains are usually very fertile agricultural areas. Floods carry nutrient-rich silt and sediment and distribute it across a wide area. floodplains are flat and often have relatively few boulders or other large obstacles that may prevent farming.

Flood plains are very fertile because, at times when river water overflows, it results in the flooding of the neighboring areas. This deposits a layer of fine soil and other sediments at the banks of the river, which leads to fertile flood plains.
