Wetland

An area of land that is periodically underwater
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to find a parking spot in a busy lot that is only available at certain times of the day. Just like this parking spot is sometimes occupied and sometimes free, a wetland is an area of land that is periodically underwater and sometimes dry. The parking spot represents the land in the wetland, sometimes submerged (occupied) by water, and sometimes exposed (free) when the water recedes, highlighting how both are dynamic environments that change availability depending on certain conditions.
