Breadcrumbs
also known as Breadcrumb trail
Breadcrumbs are a row of links, usually near the top, that reveal the current page's position within a site's structure and let users jump back to any parent level. They typically read from the home page down to the current page, separated by arrows or slashes. They aid orientation on deep, hierarchical sites.

Don't confuse it with
Breadcrumbs show hierarchical location (where you are in a tree); a stepper shows sequential progress through steps. Pagination moves across pages of a list rather than up and down a hierarchy.
