Hydroponics is not a method for classifying plants, rather it's a method for growing plants. Although you could absolutely use a hydroponic system outdoors (I have seen it done), most people tend to use the hydroponic method indoors.

Just to clarify, Hydroponics is the method for growing plants without conventional soil. Most hydroponics systems involve the use of a "medium" which acts as a substitute for soil, and the roots hang in nutrient enriched water. The fundamental difference between hydroponics and soil is this: Non-hydroponic systems generally use the soil as the source for roots to obtain nutrients (ie nitrogen phosphorous, etc) while Hydroponic systems use water as the source for nutrients, and the medium has little or no nutritional value.
