Why is a byte called a byte?
Because the people who decided to name them bits decided that 8 bits makes up a byte. It is just like asking why is a knife called a knife no real reason.
What does each byte represents?
Each byte represents a number. What that number means, will depend on where abouts it is, in a memory location or program. For example. In the graphics area of memory, the number will determine what color the pixel should be for that location. There will be a byte for every pixel. A pair of bytes will represent where the computer should look in the memory to retreive another number. A single byte will represent a command, when executed by the CPU. A program is operated on, one byte at a time in sequence, unless the operation code (another byte) tells it to jump to another part of the program or stop. A CPU has a look up table, where each number (represented by a byte) will have an operation. This operation could be, to just add 1 to the number in the present registry.

Another name for a byte?
The Another name of a BYTE is WORD. Sorry, but that is not correct. Computers do have a 'word length' which is described as a number of either Bits or Bytes. Most modern computers have a 16 bit or 32 bit, some 64 bit, word length. This 'word' is nothing to do with word processing or a typed document - it relates to the computers internal architecture. Some people use Byte and Character as the same thing but this again is not quite technically accurate. A Byte is always 8 bits by definition. However a character (eg the letter 'A') may vary in the number of bits required to store it. In most modern systems each character requires 8 bits - which just happens to be one Byte. Some older systems used 5, 6 or 7 bit characters. A correct technical word to use in place of Byte is Octet.
What are the different categories of processors?
we know that the process of byte ordering is called endiansess.so according to byte ordering these are two types one is bigendian and another is little endian processor
