# Flower & Pre Roll Taxonomy Update

We’ve made categorization improvements to **Flower**, **Pre Rolls** and **Infused Pre Rolls** across our [Taxonomy APIs](https://developer.weedmaps.com/docs/2024-01-taxonomy). These changes will provide a more accurate and structured classification system, improving discoverability and consistency for customers.

As a result our [Taxonomy API](https://developer.weedmaps.com/docs/2024-01-taxonomy) is now updated to represent **Flower**, **Pre Rolls** and **Infused Pre Rolls** as a root category from the [/partners/categories ](https://developer.weedmaps.com/reference/get202501partnerscategories)endpoint across all API versions on **April 8th 2025**. These categories will now reflect the`parent_id`as `null` from the [/partners/categories](https://developer.weedmaps.com/reference/get202501partnerscategories) endpoint as seen below:

```json /partners/categories
    {
      "id": 1693,
      "parent_id": null,
      "slug": "pre-roll",
      "name": "Pre Roll",
      "published": true,
      "updated_at": "2024-11-23T02:55:17Z"
    }
```

Given these changes, the [/categories/tree](https://developer.weedmaps.com/reference/get202501partnerscategoriestree) endpoint will now include new children categories under each new category. Here's an example of the children categories we return for **Flower**, **Pre Rolls**, and **Infused Pre Rolls**.
