Display x number of terms and exclude hidden

by

Googling get_terms gives the WP developer hub page for get_terms as the first result, for which the first example is this:

$terms = get_terms( 'post_tag', array(
    'hide_empty' => false,
) );

Using this as a basis we get:

$args = array(
    'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
    'number' => 5,
    'orderby' => 'name',
    'parent' => 11,
    'hide_empty' => true,
);

$terms = get_terms( $args );
