subparagraph
Section within section
A subparagraph is a subdivision within a paragraph, especially in legal, regulatory, or formal documents.
Contracts and statutes often organize provisions into sections, paragraphs, and subparagraphs for precise reference: See subparagraph (b)(2).
The term reflects hierarchical document structure rather than the paragraph breaks of ordinary prose.
