Office 365 groups members of another group
As has been said you can't nest groups, though it's been https://office365.uservoice.com/forums/286611-office-365-groups/suggestions/10114956-be-able-to-nest-groups-like-distribution-groups, check out this thread and replies for a lot more info on this and the complexities involved.
At extra cost, you can use https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/active-directory-accessmanagement-groups-with-advanced-rules with rule-based membership to automatically populate Office 365 Groups membership. This allows for easy management of larger groups or the creation of groups that always reflect the organisation’s structure. This does require Azure AD Premium licensing, however.

Not actually true. You can nest groups, just not Microsot 365 Groups. The lesson is just don't use office365 / Microsoft 365 groups. They suck. Distribution List Groups can be members of other groups and can have other groups as members.
