An accordion is a common UI/UX pattern that can help reduce or condense the amount of information presented to users.

It is a vertically stacked set of interactive headings that each contain a title, content snippet, or thumbnail representing a section of content. The headings function as controls that enable users to reveal or hide their associated sections of content. Accordions are commonly used to reduce the need to scroll when presenting multiple sections of content on a single page.

The term stems from the musical accordion in which sections of the bellows can be expanded by pulling outward.
