Correct spelling, explanation: the word subcategories has to be spelled with consideration – because of the accumulation of the vowels that can be very tricky. You should be careful not to make a mistake. This plural noun consists of two parts: the prefix sub- and the root categories (that comes from category). It can’t be written down as subcatagories, because it’s just an error. Subcategories is the only correct form.

Incorrect spelling, explanation: you shouldn’t spell this word as subcatagories, because this word doesn’t exist. The only correct version is subcategories and it’s a combination of two elements: the prefix and the root. The prefix is sub- and it means under, beneath, subsidiary, secondary, almost, nearly. The root on the other hand is the plural noun categories. As you can see, it has two -e vowels, not two -a vowels.
