How to create a custom taxonomy page template (to display a list of categories as links)?

Question

WordPress

- A Custom Post Type is registered on the WordPress site: movies ("Movies");
- Custom taxonomy genres has been registered for "movies" posts ;
- The "genres" taxonomy contains several categories: comedy , thriller , melodrama , etc.

• To create a template for a separate post of the type "movies" - I use the file single-movies.php
  (*for the page of the form: site.ru/movies/post-o-filme-nomer-odin/ )
  
• To create a catalog page template for all records of the "movies" type, I use the archive-movies.php file
  (*for a page of the form: site.ru/movies/ )
  
• To create a template for a separate page of a specific category from an arbitrary taxonomy "genres" - I use the file taxonomy-genres.php
  (*for a page like: site.ru/genres/comedy/ )
  
• Q: How can I create a custom taxonomy page template, in this case the "genres" custom taxonomy page template?
  (*for page view: site.ru/genres/ )
  

- That is, you need to make sure that when you go to the page: site.ru/genres/ - a unique template is used (in which, accordingly, you need to write the code to display the list of categories in the form of links - * for these purposes, as far as I understand, you can use wp_list_categories() , after 'taxonomy' => 'category',replacing 'category' in the line with the desired custom taxonomy 'genres').
*Now on the page of the form: site.ru/genres/ - WordPress calls the main page template - index.php . And it is necessary that a separate custom taxonomy page template be called.
*Creating a template file named archive-genres.php didn't work - either I did something wrong, or the template like "archive-$posttype.php" can only be used for post types, not taxonomies.
