바닥 is the floor in the sense that it's the lowest place in a given place. 아이스크림이 바닥에 떨어졌어 ㅜㅠ would be "my ice cream fell on the floor 😭" and 예산이 바닥났습니다... would be "we are all out of funding" or "we are scraping the bottom of the barrel".
마루 is the floor in the sense that it's a part of the room. You would call a flooring made of bamboo 대나무 마루 and not 대나무 바닥!
땅 has more "natural" connotations compared to the other two, dirt and earth and all. If I had to eat ice cream that's fallen on 바닥, 마루, and 땅, I would eat off 마루 first, 바닥 next and 땅 last.
