In WordPress, a taxonomy is a “way” of categorizing / tagging posts.
Read the WordPress Taxonomies Docs.
Categories are a taxonomy. They are a built-in taxonomy that comes by default.
Tags are also a taxonomy. They are built-in also.
You may also create your own custom taxonomies that follow either a “heirarchical” structure (such as categories) or not (such as tags): Custom Taxonomies
What are the WordPress Taxonomies?
Taxonomy is a simple way of organizing data in the WordPress (post, pages, custom post types) by classify and group things.
~ By default Taxonomies are Tags and Categories which are used for posts.
What are the WordPress Catagories?
You can use categories to sort and group your blog posts into different sections. For example, a news website might have categories for their articles filed under News, Opinion, Weather, and Sports.
Note: Taxonomy is the way of organizing data and catagories are the front face of the directory where a certian type of data/information is stored.
Hope this may helps.
