The Magento_Catalog
module is one of the backbones of the entire Magento platform. It provides robust support for the inventory management of various product types. This module is what manages products, categories and their attributes, the display on the frontend, and many more things.
We can access the catalog functionality within the Magento admin area by navigating to Products | Inventory | Catalog or Products | Inventory | Category.
If we start with a blank Magento installation, we will probably start with categories as one of the first entities to be created. We can manually create categories by performing the following steps:
Log in to the Magento admin area.
Go to the Products | Inventory | Category menu. This opens a screen that is similar to the one shown in the following screenshot:
On the left-hand side of the screen, click on Default Category. Then, when the page reloads, click on the Add Subcategory button.
