Cascading Menu

/ˌkæsˈkeɪdɪŋ ˈmɛnjuː/noun
ELI5 mode

A cascading menu is a user interface element in software that displays a hierarchical list of options, where selecting an item reveals submenus that expand downward or sideways like a waterfall. This design enhances navigation in complex systems by organizing choices into nested levels, and in today's web apps, it's often animated for a smoother, more intuitive user experience that reduces cognitive load.
