Answer 1

Do you really understand the meaning of "close from indexing"? There are two ways to close specific pages from indexing:

1. At the beginning of the html document, add the robots meta tag with the noindex value
   
2. Write the rules for search robots in the robots.txt file
   

Both options will prevent search robots from indexing pages. And this is still a recommendation, if the search engine finds the content useful, it can ignore the specified rules
There is also a tag <noindex>...</noindex>, Google ignores it
You can prevent the robot from following links by specifying rel="nofollow" , but it will still find these pages and index them if indexing is not allowed

Answer 2

Here is an example category
Here is the code that displays it

<?php
   // параметры по умолчанию
   $posts = get_posts( array(
   'numberposts' => 5,
   'category'    => 12,
   'orderby'     => 'date',
   'order'       => 'DESC',
   'post_type'   => 'post',
   'suppress_filters' => true, // подавление работы фильтров изменения SQL запроса
   ) );

   foreach( $posts as $post ){
    setup_postdata($post);
?>
<article class="whant-container__box">
    <?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="whant-article-box whant-article--big box-light-fon">
        <div class="whant-content">
            <div class="h4 whant-content__title">
                <?php trim_title_chars(57, '...'); ?>
            </div>
            <p>
                <?php echo wp_trim_words( get_the_excerpt(), 75 ); ?>
            </p>
        </div>
    </a>
</article>
<?php
}

wp_reset_postdata(); // сброс
?>

How can I close it from indexing? if at the beginning of the html document I set the robots meta tag with the value noindex , then the whole page will close, and I only need to close this block on the main page from the robot
