Types of Categories:

Root Category
A group of products that offer similar benefits. Products from the same category should have similar physical features and should offer similar benefits.

  • The root category is the highest level or the main level of the product hierarchy.
  • It represents a broad and general classification that encompasses a range of related products or services.
  • Root categories are often the primary divisions that serve as the foundation for further subcategorization.
  • For example, in an e-commerce website, the root categories might be "Electronics" or "Clothing"

Sub - Category
A sub category is a subdivision of a larger/root category, so that the products in the larger/root category are easy to classify.

  • Sub-categories are more specific divisions or subsets within a root category.
  • They represent a more detailed classification of products that fall under a particular root category.
  • Sub-categories help in organizing products further, providing a more granular structure for navigation.
  • Using the previous example, under the "Electronics" root category, sub-categories could include "Smartphones," "Laptops," and "Audio Devices."
