A piano is member of several groups. First of all, a piano is a string instrument, because its main source of sound is the vibration of the strings. It's also a keyboard instrument (because it is played by touching the keys of the keyboard) and a percussion instrument(and idea of the composer Bela Bartok, if I'm correct; he considered the piano to be a percussive instrument because in a piano the strings are hit by hammers).

What instrumental category doe the pipe organ belong to?
Good question. It is a keyboard instrument, like the piano, harpsichord and celesta, but unlike those instruments (which are technically in the percussion family) its tones are produced by air. As an organist myself, I would tend to group it with the keyboard instruments due to what the player him/herself does to produce the sounds.
