A floodplain or flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences floodingduring periods of high discharge. The soils usually consist of levees, silts, and sands deposited during floods.

Answer:

Most of the floods are caused in the rainy season as the water spills over the banks causing floods. On receding, this water leaves behind alluvial deposits over a large area on both sides of the river. This deposited alluvium forms a relatively flat region known as a flood plain.
