ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Subcategory

Okay kiddo, so you know how you have different types of toys like dolls, stuffed animals, cars, and building blocks? These are all different categories of toys.

Now, imagine you have a big box of dolls. You can further organize them into subcategories based on different characteristics such as hair color, dress color, or size. For example, you can group all the dolls with red hair into one subcategory or group all the dolls wearing pink dresses into another subcategory.

So, a subcategory is a smaller group of items that all have something in common and belong to the same bigger category. It's like having a big family and then dividing it into smaller groups based on age or hobbies.

In summary, subcategories are groups of similar things within a larger category.
