What are taxonomy terms?
A taxonomy term is an item within a taxonomy that you can use to group your content together. By categorizing your content with taxonomy terms, you organize your content so visitors can easily navigate your site. WordPress has a number of built-in taxonomies you can use, such as categories and tags. For each taxonomy term, WordPress creates an archive page where all your content is displayed. When clicking on a taxonomy term, you are taken to the archive page that lists all posts using that term.
Why do you need to give taxonomy terms a description?
WordPress allows you to create a title and a description for your taxonomy terms. A clear description helps set the right expectations for visitors. It tells them what type of content they can find on that archive page. The description also helps search engines understand the topics that you cover on your site. This can improve your SEO and help your site rank better in the search results.
How do you add a description to taxonomy terms?

- Go to Posts and click on “Categories” or “Tags”
