Get Term names from WP Term Object

by

I created an array with this expressions:

 $taxonomies = get_terms(array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'hide_empty' => false,
 ));

And I got this as return:

I need to get only the [name] and the [slug] in 2 seperated array. How it is possible? I’m thinking about array_column and array_push options

Here’s an alternative using the handy wp_list_pluck():

$terms = get_terms(array(
        'taxonomy' => 'category',
        'hide_empty' => false,
));
$slugs = wp_list_pluck( $terms, 'slug' ); 
$names = wp_list_pluck( $terms, 'name' );

where we pluck out the wanted field into an array.
