Consider this MWE:

\documentclass[openany]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[style=mla]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}

\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{einstein,
    author = "Albert Einstein",
    title = "{Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter K{"o}rper}. ({German})
    [{On} the electrodynamics of moving bodies]",
    journal = "Annalen der Physik",
    volume = "322",
    number = "10",
    pages = "891--921",
    year = "1905",
    DOI = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/andp.19053221004",
    keywords = "physics"
}


@book{dirac,
    title = {The Principles of Quantum Mechanics},
    author = {Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac},
    isbn = {9780198520115},
    series = {International series of monographs on physics},
    year = {1981},
    publisher = {Clarendon Press},
    keywords = {physics}
}
\end{filecontents}


\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}


\begin{document}
Let's cite! The Einstein's journal paper \footcite{einstein} and the Dirac's 
book \footcite{dirac} are physics related items.


\printbibliography


\end{document}

With the following output: enter image description here

This all works fine, but I want to change the "Works Cited" title to "Bibliography".

How to do that?

I tried working with the numeric option for biblatex -

\usepackage[style=numeric]{biblatex}

, which led to this result: enter image description here

So now I get "Bibliography" as a title, but (almost) no information in the footnote.

Is there an option that I missed in the manual, so not to define a new macro command in the preamble? If the answer is no, then what is the macro command to be used?

Edit

With help from moewe, I came to the conclusion that using [style=verbose] as an option, together with \footcite{key} produces the desired result, viz. printing the cited entry in the footnote of the current page, and no alteration of the \printbibliography title to "Works cited" from "Bibliography".

But I have another question, which is how to produce (something almost similar) to the following result:

enter image description here

That is, in words, cite a bibliography entry in numerical form, make it appear in square parenthesis, AND make it appear at page foot margin. As well, print it in the bibligraphy list when using \printbibliography.

If I cite the same work twice or more on the same page, I want it to have the same numerical, no use of "Ibid". If the work is cited on several pages, I don't want any use of "Ibid", nor any use of "see footnote ## on page ##", or something similar. Just have the same numeric it received in the first page it appeared. I also want a corresponding numbering in the bibliography chapter, with "listing per appearance" citations ordering (not alphabetically).

    With style=numeric, you get numeric citations (i.e. numbers). If you use \footcite you get the citation in a footnote. With numeric citations that ends up just sending a number to the footnote. Not particularly helpful, I admit. Maybe you want to use style=verbose,. Or you may want to switch from \footcite to \autocite, \parencite or \cite. – moewe Mar 29 '21 at 20:18

    But you don't have to change bibliography styles to change the bibliography heading. \printbibliography has a title option you can use: \printbibliography[title=Whatever title you like] (here you may want to try \printbibliography[title=\bibname]). (Note that style=mla, has a few issues: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/369696/35864, but I'm probably biased against MLA style in general, so don't let me talk you out of using it if you have to or find it pretty.) – moewe Mar 29 '21 at 20:20
  • @moewe [style=verbose] together with \footcite{<key>} works fine. Thanks a lot. Another question: How can I cite a bibliography entry with a \parencite command, AND to make it appear at the footnote of the page? I.e., "The journal paper[1]" (where "1" is an entry) and make it appear at the footnote. Should I edit the original question? – tush Mar 29 '21 at 21:05
  • I don't think I quite understand what you want. Do you just want the footnote number in brackets and normal instead of superscripted? Or do you want a fully-blown numeric style with additional references in the footnote line? If you are not quite sure which you want, ask yourself the following questions: What do you want to happen if you cite the same work multiple times on the same page, what do you want to happen if you cite it several times on different pages? Do you want any numbering in the bibliography? How should the bibliography be ordered: Alphabetically or by appearance citations? – moewe Mar 30 '21 at 07:36
  • ... Yes, please edit your question with what you have now and your exact requirements. – moewe Mar 30 '21 at 07:37
  • @moewe Thanks so much for your time and notice. I edited the original question. – tush Mar 30 '21 at 20:07
