      ?

      Water is a resistive surface, you can land on it.

      Generally, this will… not exactly go swimmingly, and most aircraft will sink soon afterward, if they don’t tear themselves apart in the landing process… but in some situations, it is possible.

      There are also a fair number of aircraft that are intentionally designed to be able to take off and land from water.

      You have perhaps heard of a seaplane?
