Category

What it does

The Category model represents a product category in Magento 2's catalog system.

Developers use this class to retrieve, create, update, and manage category data including hierarchy (parent/child relationships), URLs, products, display settings, and store assignments.

It handles category-specific operations like moving categories in the tree, getting product collections, managing anchors, and triggering reindexing.
