Please someone chime in if sense can be made.

Yes you can. you can create a parentid fields and make that foreign key to your Id field. In that way you can make parent child relationship in single table.

yes like in one category table there is 2 categories cat1 and cat2, and under the cat1 there is subcat1 and subcat2 and like this also for cat2, under the cat2 there is subcat1 and subcat2.
this is binary format to store the data in single table, we have to implement the parent and
child relationship in one single table itself.

Here the table will look like.]
Catergoty
============
CategoryID
ParentCategoryID
Category Name

Here Parent Category will be foreign key to the same table categoryid field.
