I have a list where you show me the categories, but I would like you not to show me the subcategories, only the categories

 $term_id = get_categories();
    if (function_exists('get_wp_term_image'))
{
    $meta_image = get_wp_term_image($term_id); 
    //It will give category/term image url 
}
$categories = get_categories();
foreach($categories as $category) {
   ?>
  <article>
   <div class="poster"> 
   <a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->term_id); ?>">
<?php echo '<img src="'.get_wp_term_image($category->term_id).'">' ?>
</div>
<div class="orbit_starts">
<h2><?php echo $category->name ?></h2></a>
</div>
</article>

How would you exclude all subcategories?

Thank you
