The independent variable is on the horizontal axis.
The category labels are displayed along the horizontal axis in the column chart. On the other hand, the data is plotted along the vertical axis.
The two types of axes are x-axis and y-axis. X-axis is called value axis for bar charts or category axis for column and line chart while Y-axis is called category axis for bar charts or column axis for column and line chart.
The horizontal axis is the one going across the bottom of a chart. It can be the X axis in some kinds of charts or the category axis in other kinds of charts.

It labels items on a chart. Category labels go across the bottom, on the horizontal or X-Axis. Values are normally on the Y-Axis. So if it were a bar chart, a category would have a bar coming from the X Axis and its value would be measured by what point on the Y-Axis it is equal to. The category labels tell us what that bar represents, like sales or profits or a particular year etc.
