Seaplanes are any aircraft that has the capability of landing on water while amphibians are equipped with wheels to alight on land, as well as being able to land on the water Flying boats rely on the fuselage or hull for buoyancy, while floatplanes rely on external pontoons or floats
- Amphibious aircraft - Wikipedia
