Answer:
Landlocked countries are sovereign states that don't have a territory connected to a sea or ocean. There are currently 44 landlocked countries in the world, most of them in the African continent (16).
An example of a landlocked country is Mongolia. This country borders both Russia and China. Mongolia is a landlocked country because there is no nearby or connected major body of water. However, China and Russia are not landlocked countries because the Chinese territory is connected to the South China Sea, and the Russian territory is connected to the Pacific Ocean.
To summarize, if a country's territory connects to the ocean, the country is landlocked. Otherwise, the country is not landlocked.
