Categories are done for a wide grouping of your post. Consider this for your table of content or your general topics for your WordPress website. You can also create your sub-categories because categories are hierarchical.

For example, if you write articles related to blogging, then your categories will be like this –Beginners guide, SEO, SMO, Affiliate marketing etc, So that you can show your different posts in a fixed category.
