How they are found
Mostly indirectly: a planet crossing its star dims it by a fraction of a percent, or tugs it into a wobble measurable in the star's spectrum. Only a handful have been imaged directly.
The habitable zone
The orbital band where liquid water could exist on a surface. It says nothing about whether a planet has water, an atmosphere, or a surface at all.
