Rajesh Lohar You cannot add a Microsoft Team to a subsite, Teams can only be added to Sites (Site collections) which are connected to Microsoft 365 Groups.

 

Check below links to "Teamify" existing subsites:

  1. “Teamify” existing subsites with the help of ShareGate Desktop 
  2. Can i link a sub-site insdie a classic team site to a MS Teams 

Also, check this article about how to use existing SharePoint library as files tab in Microsoft Teams (not sure if it is still supported): Microsoft Teams: Use an Existing SharePoint Library 

 

However, you can always add any SharePoint library/page as a Tab in any Team/Channel. Integrate existing SharePoint 365 website into Microsoft Teams
