## Description

**Taxonomy Submenu Block** allows you to create dynamic submenu structures inside
the Gutenberg Navigation block by simply selecting a taxonomy. All terms inside 
the chosen taxonomy automatically appear as submenu items.

Unlike the default WordPress submenu block, this plugin gives you **complete styling
freedom** — you can customize every part of the submenu, including submenu container,
submenu items, text, backgrounds, hover effects, spacing, borders, typography, and
more.

Perfect for blogs, LMS websites, ecommerce stores, real-estate portals, directories,
or any site where taxonomy-based menus improve navigation.
