function register_taxonomy_Emerates_State() {
    $labels = array( 
    'name' => _x( 'Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'singular_name' => _x( 'Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'search_items' => _x( 'Search Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'popular_items' => _x( 'Popular Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'all_items' => _x( 'All Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'parent_item' => _x( 'Parent Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'parent_item_colon' => _x( 'Parent Emerates_State:', 'State' ),

    'choose_from_most_used' => _x( 'Choose from the most used Emerates_State', 'State' ),
    'menu_name' => _x( 'Emerates_State', 'State' ),

It looks like you're using the new Block Editor (Gutenberg).

In such case, you should know that this editor is based on REST. So if you want to see your custom taxonomy in this editor, you have to make it visible in rest.

You should set show_in_rest parameter to true.

$args = array( 
    'labels' => $labels,
    'public' => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_tagcloud' => false,
    'show_admin_column' => true,
    'hierarchical' => true,
    'with_front'=> true,
    'query_var' => true,
    'has_archive' => true,
    'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'state' ),
    'show_in_rest' => true
);
