" LAND "
as a noun it is an item,
represented by the language we are presently using, English.
All land dwelling "creatures" (derived friom the word create),
dwell upon and within this thing we call land.
Sometimes, It is not so much, what land is,,
it is what it is not.
As a verb , it is the act of coming into contact with land.

Land is the earth's crust that is not covered by water. The Earth's crust is in pieces some of which are the land continents that you have learned about in school.
Ignore the other stupid answers - it's a good question!
good luck!
