Here is the working example for edit_term action

function wp_edit_term_example( $term_id, $tt_id, $taxonomy ) {
    // Return if it is not default taxonomy
    if ( 'category' !== $taxonomy ) {
        return;
    }

    // Get term data by term id and taxonomy
    $term = get_term( $term_id, $taxonomy );

    // Update term meta
    update_term_meta( $term_id, '_term_example_meta_key', 'term_example_meta_value' );
}

add_action( 'edit_term', 'wp_edit_term_example', 10, 3 );
