Key sub-sections.

Does "key sub-sections." reffer to key subject? I can't understand what mean "sections" in key sub sections.. thanks

a large library of help topics, laid out along eight key subject areas, including e-commerce, building your website, and email marketing. Each of these breaks out into a range of articles focusing on key sub-sections. The e-commerce section, for example, features 12 sub-headings like “getting started with e-commerce” which themselves split out into further areas of focus.

Here a "section" is a portion of a document that covers a broad topic, such as e-commerce, while a "sub-section" is a smaller portion of the document that covers a subdivision of such a topic, such as "getting started with e-commerce". Though it is a slightly nitpicky point, the use of the term "sub-sections" in this text does not seem ideal to me. To me, a "sub-section" is more the section of text itself, rather than the topic that the text focuses on.
