Having issues with getting products in main category

hi
i am creating a showcase site website, everything is fine but while getting products i am having issues . i have multiple categories like

Pre School [ Nursery / LKG / UKG - these are in subcategory inside pre school ]
Class 1 [ this has no sub categories ]

i have added books [ products in all categories including main category [ Pre School ] and the single category Class 1.

but now what i am facing is when i click on sub categories [ Nursery / LKG / UKG ] i can see the products but when i clicked on main category [ Pre School ] i see only categories nut not any products ]
i have also added products in Class 1 [ Single category but even i clicked in class 1 i can’t see any products .

can anyone please help me with this

the code i have used for this is added below

<?php if(!empty($subCategories)){ foreach ($subCategories as $cat) { echo '
  • '; echo ''.'>> '.$cat->cat_title.'   '.''; echo "
  • "; } }else{ ?>
