Shortcode Block
A shortcode is a WordPress-specific code that lets you embed files or objects without a lot of ugly and complicated code, and fits in one neat line.
To add a shortcode block, click on the Block Inserter icon and type shortcode in the search field to find it under Widgets. You can also type /shortcode directly into a new paragraph block to quickly find the block and hit enter.
