In this blog you will see how to get a taxonomy term by name in SharePoint 2016 with CSOM Extension Method using Console Application.

Please refer to the Introduction to PnP Core Component and OfficeDevPnP.Core for more details. I have created a console application and added SharePointPnPCore2016 NuGet package for the SharePoint 2016 version.

                    Term term = ctx.Site.GetTermByName(termSetID, termName);
                    Console.WriteLine(term.Description);
                    Console.ReadLine();
