Explain How to Creating Categories?

The category structure of your catalog is like an upside-down tree, with the root at the top.

Each section of the tree can be expanded and collapsed.

The first level of categories below the root typically appears as options in the main menu.

You can create as many additional subcategories as needed, according to the maximum menu depth that is set in the configuration.

Categories can be dragged and dropped to other locations in the tree.

The category ID number appears in parentheses after the category name at the 
top of the page

b)     In the category tree, tap the parent category of the  new category. The parent is one level above   the new category.
