subsection
Part within part
A subsection is a division within a section—a smaller unit of organization within an already divided whole.
Legal and technical documents use subsections to break complex material into manageable parts: Subsection 3(b) addresses liability.
The term applies broadly to any subdivision: the frozen foods subsection of the grocery store.
