Category

What it does

This is the core resource model for managing category data in Magento 2's database.

Developers use it to perform CRUD operations on categories, manage parent-child relationships, handle category-product associations, retrieve category trees, and update category paths.

It's essential when building custom category features, importing categories, or manipulating the category hierarchy programmatically.
