Floodgates are objects that regulate the flow of fluids. A wood, stone or metal floodgate will suffice for water flow, but only steel will hold back magma. Floodgates can be linked up to levers or pressure plates to create farms, a water source or as a defense against invaders.
If there is no roof above your floodgate and there is a water source from a higher elevation it will spill over it.
An open floodgate can be walked through, a closed one can not.
