Hi all, What is the difference between these forums? and How I can create one of them?

I know the group (2); But I don't know how to make the group (1).
Sorry, I'm using google translate. Try to understand the meaning of my words.

1 is a category
2 is a forum

'In Administration Control Panel (ACP) > FORUMS > Manage forums make a new forum.

Forum type: Category
Parent forum: No parent

Set permissions for category.

Then make another forum.
Forum type: Forum
Parent forum: the category you just made.

Set permissions for forum.

To set permissions, either use the option to copy permissions from an existing category or forum that has the desired permissions, or:
Administration Control Panel (ACP) > Permissions > Group forum permissions
Set the registered users to be able to see and post in it:
Registered users > Standard access
