'dazu' and 'hierzu' can both refer to something that was mentioned earlier. 'dazu' is very common in everyday language and works both for additions and for a topic: you can say something about it or add something to it. 'hierzu' sounds more formal and is used more in texts, emails, reports, or official situations. It usually means 'on this topic' or 'for this purpose'. Learners may confuse the words because 'hierzu' often feels like a formal version of 'dazu'. In normal conversations, 'dazu' usually sounds more natural.
