Channel where a river flows.

river channel streambed

A riverbed is the channel or area where a river flows, typically consisting of soil, rock, and other natural materials. It serves as the physical pathway for water during normal flow conditions and can become exposed during periods of low water levels or drought.

Riverbeds are derived from the combination of 'river' and 'bed,' referring to the ground or bottom where a river flows.
