A Tributary
When one river meets another, it is called a tributary.
A tributary is a small stream of water that feeds into a larger stream or into a lake. So the Ohio River is a tributary of the Mississippi River, the Little Miami River is a tributary of the Ohio River, and the Genessee River is a tributary of Lake Ontario.
Examples of tributaries include the Missouri River, which is a tributary of the Mississippi River; the Willamette River, which is a tributary of the Columbia River; and the Illinois River, which is a tributary of the Mississippi River.
Because a tributary flows into a river. If a tributary flowed directly into the sea - it would be a river - not a tributary !
