Sometimes they get used interchangeably (eg. people might call "Logo Design" a category, it also might be called a subcategory). Though really I think the top level are the categories and the ones below are the subcategories.
eg. The Categories are:
Graphics & Design, Digital Marketing, Writing & Translation, Video & Animation, Music & Audio, Programming & Tech, etc.
and the subcategories are below them, eg:
Cartoons & Comics (Graphics & Design->Cartoons & Comics)
Logo Design (Graphics & Design->Logo Design)
Illustration (Graphics & Design->Illustration)
The ones below those subcategories could also be called subcategories (or nested ones).
