They form from deposition NOT EROSION!!
Floodplains
They arr both formed by deposition and form near or on a river.
Floodplains are typically created by fluvial erosion, which is the erosion caused by flowing water such as rivers and streams. Over time, the continuous flow of water can lead to the gradual widening of the river channel, depositing sediment in the surrounding flat areas to form floodplains.
Floodplains are typically formed by the deposition of sediments carried and deposited by rivers during floods, rather than erosion. Erosion can shape the landscape, but floodplains are mostly a result of the sediment deposition process.

Rivers
A meandering river is characterized by flat floodplains. Meandering rivers have a zigzag pattern with gentle curves, which results in wider floodplains compared to other types of rivers. The slow-moving water in meandering rivers allows sediments to be deposited, creating these flat areas.
