Example

Vocabularies help us to organise our category terms.

Vocabularies are a collections of words - or Terms as they are called in Drupal - that we use to organise content of a similar type.

Categories are synonymous with Terms. In other words if I create the term 'Red' then Red is a category I can put content into. You will get used to this when you start creating your taxonomic system.
