lilypad

Frog's floating seat

A lilypad is the broad, flat, floating leaf of a water lily.

The round or heart-shaped leaves rest on the surface of ponds and still water, providing platforms for frogs and insects.

In video games, lilypads are often stepping stones the player must hop across: Jump from lilypad to lilypad to cross the swamp.
