Introduction

In Drupal, Taxonomy is a powerful core system used to classify, organize, and relate content. Taxonomy helps site builders group content using terms like Categories, Tags, Topics, Departments, etc. These terms are stored inside Vocabularies.

When taxonomy is combined with Views, it becomes extremely powerful. You can filter content, create category-wise listings, build dynamic pages, sliders, and much more.
