What it does

This resource model handles all database operations for Magento 2 category entities.

Developers use this class to load, save, delete categories, manage category-product relationships, handle category tree operations (moving categories, getting children/parents), and retrieve category-related data.

It's the main interface for interacting with category data at the database level, including managing hierarchical structures and product associations.
