A quick definition of floor amendment:

A floor amendment is a change proposed by a member of a legislative body during a meeting or debate. It can be a revision or addition to a law or rule, and can involve adding, deleting, or correcting wording. A floor amendment is different from a committee amendment, which is proposed by a group of members who have reviewed the issue beforehand. A friendly amendment is one that the original proposer supports and no one objects to, while other amendments may require debate and a vote.

A more thorough explanation:

A floor amendment is a proposed change to a law or other document that is made during a meeting or debate. It is different from an amendment proposed by a committee. The term "floor" refers to the main area where the meeting or debate is taking place.

For example, if a group is discussing a proposed law, a member of the group might suggest a change to the wording of the law. This would be a floor amendment. Another example would be if a group is discussing a resolution, and a member suggests adding a new paragraph. This would also be a floor amendment.

Floor amendments are important because they allow members to make changes to a proposal in real-time, based on the discussion and debate happening in the meeting. This can help ensure that the final version of the proposal is the best possible version, with input from all members.
