Answer:
A
tributary is a stream which flows into a main stream (or parent) river. A
tributary does not flow directly into a sea, ocean or lake. Tributaries and
the main stream river drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water
and groundwater.
The reverse to a tributary is a distributary, a river that branches off
and flows away from the main stream. The Yamuna is a tributary of the Ganga,
whereas the Hugli is a distributary of the Ganga.
