Breadcrumb Navigation (Wikipedia)

Breadcrumb navigation is a user interface feature that shows a trail of links indicating the path you’ve taken within a website’s hierarchy. Think of it like a trail of breadcrumbs in a forest, guiding you back to previous sections or categories. It helps users understand their current location on a website and easily navigate to higher-level pages, improving usability and site orientation. Typically displayed as a horizontal list separated by symbols (like "Home > Products > Electronics > Smartphones"), breadcrumbs are especially useful for complex sites with many levels of content.
