    classification which this category belongs to.
  - isRootCategory
```
boolean isRootCategory()
```

```
    Returns the classification category defined by the given name.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The category name

```
    Returns an iterable of products that are directly assigned to this category.
    
    Returns:
    
    iterable of the directly assigned products.
