How to wrap text in a vertically rotated merged cell?

Question

I have a table and the codes are given below:

\begin{table}[]
\begin{tabular}{cc|cccccc|}
\cline{3-8}
\multicolumn{1}{l}{}                                                   
&            & \multicolumn{6}{c|}{\textbf{Time-period (t)}}                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
\\ \cline{3-8} 
\multicolumn{1}{l}{}                                                   
& \textbf{}  & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{0}}               & 
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{1}}               & \multicolumn{1}{c|} 
{\textbf{2}}               & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{3}}               
& \multicolumn{1}{c|}{\textbf{4}}                   & \textbf{5}               
\\ \hline
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}                                                 
& \textbf{1} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{{\color[HTML]{32CB00} 3}} & 
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{{\color[HTML]{000000} 3}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}

{\color[HTML]{32CB00}3}+3} & {\color[HTML]{000000} 3} \\ \cline{2- 
8} 
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}                                                 
& \textbf{2} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}                         & 
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{{\color[HTML]{32CB00} 3}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|} 
{3}                        & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{3}                        
& \multicolumn{1}{c|}{3}                            & 3                        
\\ \cline{2-8} 
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{}                                                 
& \textbf{3} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}                         & 
\multicolumn{1}{c|}{}                         & \multicolumn{1}{c|} 
{{\color[HTML]{32CB00} 3}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{3}                        
& \multicolumn{1}{c|}{3}                            & 3                        
\\ \cline{2-8} 
\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{\multirow{-4}{*}{{\rotatebox[origin=c]{90} 
{\textbf{Sensor node $i \in V$}}}}} & \textbf{4} & \multicolumn{1} 
{c|}{}                         & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}                         
& \multicolumn{1}{c|}{}                         & \multicolumn{1} 
{c|}{{\color[HTML]{32CB00} 3}} & \multicolumn{1}{c|}{3}                            
& 3                        \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

In the first column, the text is going out of the table. How can I fix this?

Welcome to TSE. Please post a Minimal Working Example, instead of a code snippet. — José Carlos Santos, Jan 01 '24 at 17:22
You can use a parbox, if you know the width needed (4\baselineskip). — John Kormylo, Jan 01 '24 at 17:23

The following additional code does satisfy the requirement of wrapping the multi-row-rotated-text

 \begin{turn}{90}
                {
                            \tabular{@{}c@{}}
                             \textbf{Sensor} \\\textbf{node} \\\textbf{$i \in V$}
                                \endtabular
                } 
            \end{turn}
