I want to display the category or tag that a custom post type belongs to in the taxonomy. When I add the code I get this error. I will be glad if you help.

<?php 
$term = get_field('cast_category');
if( $term ): ?>
    <h2><?php echo esc_html( $term->name ); ?></h2>
<?php endif; ?>

A taxonomy field returns an array of terms if your field settings allow selecting more than one term. In this case you have to loop over that array

$terms = get_field('cast_category');
if( $terms ) {
  foreach ($terms as $term) {
    ?><h2><?php echo esc_html( $term->name ); ?></h2><?php 
  }
}
