Magento 2 How to get category tree (collection) on footer

Magento 2 How to get category tree (collection) on footer

I need to display magento 2 category tree on footer and on some other places. I think best practice is creating a module and call it on desired block (place). How to do that ? I already created a module but it is not working it returns an error "Object DOMDocument should be created."
