subnavigation
Nested menu links
Subnavigation is a secondary tier of navigation within a website or application, typically appearing beneath or alongside the main menu.
It organizes content within a broader category: clicking "Products" in the main navigation might reveal subnavigation for individual product lines.
The subnavigation disappeared when I scrolled down.
