There are several types.

An airplane that can land on water is called a "seaplane" or a "flying boat" if the entire hull is used for floatation.  If it floats on streamlined floats used like landing gear, it is called a "floatplane."

An airplane that can land on either land or water is called an "amphibian" or an "amphibious aircraft" if the entire hull is used for floatation.  A floatplane with retractable wheels in the floats so it can use land or water is called an "amphibious floatplane."
