Rock Raiders™ is the name of a play theme (the first released play theme)
within the LEGO SYSTEM™ Underground product category.

That's because Aquazone is the name of the product category. Underwater
isn't the name of the product category.

No, Rock Raiders is at a lower level than Underground, just like Ninja is at
a lower level than Castle and Stingrays is at a lower level than Aquazone.
In other words, if there were groups for Rock Raiders, Ninja, and Stingrays
(and there well be someday in the distant future), they would be:
lugnet.underground.rockraiders
lugnet.castle.ninja
lugnet.aquazone.stingrays

- There are other layers which group Duplo and Primo into preschool
categories and layers which group Belville and Scala into girls
categories under the current official organizational scheme.
- ThrowBots/Slizer are part of Technic.
- Znap is not part of Technic.
- MindStorms is a whole separate product programme.
- Belville was once part of SYSTEM, but is now officially categorized
separately.
Hope this helps!!
