    How can I check, into taxonomy-term.php, if I am in a top level taxonomy term or not? 

    if(top level term)
    show description
    show list of child terms
else
    show description
    list posts within this terms

    I cannot completely answer your question, but perhaps this will help.

    If you have the term slug, you can retrieve the term info like this:

    $term = get_term_by('slug', 'sold', 'home-status');
if ( $term->parent == 0 ) {
   // This is a top level
} else {
   // This is a child
}

    where the field to compare is ‘slug’, the slug is ‘sold’, and the taxonomy is ‘home-status’.

    You can also use the term id or name by supplying the proper field value.

    Hi, no this is not my problem. I need to check terms dynamically. I solved in this way.

    Into functions.php:

    function get_top_parent_terms( $tassonomia, $termine ){

	$topTerms = get_terms( $tassonomia, array('parent' => 0) );
	$termini = array();
	if ( $topTerms ) :
	foreach ( $topTerms as $typeTerm ) :

		$termini[] =  $typeTerm->term_id;

	endforeach;
	endif;

    return in_array( $termine->term_id, $termini);

 }

    Into a taxonomy-name.php:

    $term = $wp_query->queried_object;
if ( !get_top_parent_terms ( 'categorie-servizi', $term ) ) :

    And this works. Hope that helps
