Modern Hydronic heating systems use tubing equipped with hot liquid running that run under the floorboards through radiators in heating the whole house. These are also called radiant heating which is what most families use. Another definition of hydronic heating systems is the use of water in transporting heat from the heat source to where you intend it to go. Water is the medium that absorbs heat from the source and acts as a vehicle that brings the heat to the place or the room in the house you want it to go.
