Each category maintains its own properties and interactive settings. These properties are applied to inventory items automatically and many can be changed and re-applied to existing inventory assigned to the category.
Because of the inherent power of the category, you should spend some time considering how to implement its features in your store. See What Categories Can Do and Freight Category.
