I created a category in WordPress but not made it as a page. Can I still edit the layout of the page i.e when I enter the URL example: http://www.xyx.com/abc where abc is a category.
Hi there,
Category (Archive) pages are not a regular post template, they are dynamically created. so direct editing is not possible without using a plugin or using a child theme and manually editing the template.
What is it you're trying to do?
I want to make a silo hub of the category. I want to write a paragraph about the category and show article which is under that category.
There are dedicated silo plugins for wordpress but a simple way may be to redirect he category to a standard page. This plugin can do that job:

Then you can construct your own silo page. For adding the post lists to that page i can recommend Tom's WP Show Posts plugin:
