What is Tag? How to Tag? What is the use of Tag?

Please help me…. What is tagging? How to use Tagging? How to categorize our WordPress?

My understanding of tag is that you should use them as many as you can to define your blog post, but you should use very few categories to identify the same post. For example, a blog post about a new scientific discovery could contain pretty much all the words as tags mentioned in the story, but there should be only one or two top level category (say Science or Discovery).
In this context, there should not be any limit to tags showing up in the widget, but for some reasons, WordPress has limit on the tags but no limit on categories. I do not understand the reasoning behind this limitation.

Anything over a combined total of 12 tags and categories (sum of tags + categories must be 12 or less) will get you excluded from the global tags pages here at wordpress.COM.
If you would look through the list of FAQ’s, you would have seen this one http://faq.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/whats-a-tag-how-do-i-add-tags-to-my-posts-how-do-i-manage-tags-screencast/ .
And this one is another good one http://faq.wordpress.com/2007/09/21/the-difference-between-tags-and-categories/ .

Interesting information, I wasn’t aware of that, for the global tag pages. Thank you.
I was referring to the limits set in widgets where tags widget will only show 40 tags but category widget will show unlimited categories.
