lily pad
Pond's floating leaf
A lily pad is the flat, round leaf of a water lily, floating on the surface of a pond or lake.
The leaves serve as platforms for frogs and insects: A frog sat motionless on a lily pad.
In video games and obstacle courses, lily pads often appear as stepping stones the player must hop across.
