Use the Categories tab to create categories that organize your products into logical groups, and to add products to specific categories. You can also do both of these activities from the Catalog > Edit Product > Categories Tab.
Technically, you don't have to assign a product to a category. Customers would still be able to find the product by clicking on "All Products" or by searching for a general term, like "hat". However, putting your products in categories makes it easier for customers to browse your store and find the products that they want. Categories in your on-line store are like departments in a brick and mortar store.
