Wordpress Archives Title Issue

I'm using this code to display the category title on the Archives page of my website.

<h2><?php $category = get_the_category(); echo $category[0]->cat_name; ?></h2>

The above code works perfectly for displaying the category title.

Eg: website.com/category/question

On this page the h1 title is 'Question', which is right!

But the issue I'm facing, it doesn't display the tag title. Instead, it only displays the Category title on the tag page.

Eg: website.com/tag/howto

On this page the h1 title remains 'Question', which is wrong! I want it to display the H1 title "eg. How-to"

Is there any way to modify the above code to display the tag title as well?

The most basic solution would be to get_queried_object instead of the Category. Then use the property name

<h2><?php $object = get_queried_object(); echo $object->name; ?></h2>

You could also do something specific for a tag like this.

<?php
$object = get_queried_object();
if (is_a($object, 'WP_TERM')){
    if ($object->taxonomy === 'post_tag') {
        // Do something specific for a tag
        echo $object->name;
    }
}?>

Or simply use is_tag() or is_category() to determine what you want to do.
