What it's for
A Taxonomy (e.g. "Categories") contains a tree of Taxons (e.g. Apparel > Shirts). Products can be placed into one or more Taxons, which drives storefront navigation menus and filtering.

Taxonomies help
Taxonomies are hierarchical trees used to organize and browse products in the storefront.
Example
A "Categories" taxonomy might have taxons Apparel, Accessories, and Home. A product placed in the Apparel taxon shows up when a customer browses or filters by Apparel.
How it differs from Option Types and Property Types
Taxonomies group products together for browsing. Option Types and Property Types instead describe a single product's own attributes or specs.
