At 2.099 Earth masses, Kepler-186 c is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.

At 2.156 Earth masses, Kepler-186 e is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes.

At 1.708 Earth masses, Kepler-186 f is a so called Super Earth. Super Earths could be terrestrial worlds like Earth, but they could also be ocean worlds or terrestrial worlds wrapped in a substantial atmosphere, in which case some refer to them as Mini Neptunes. With a mass below 5 Earth masses, and a semi-major axis of 0.432 astronomical units, which is outside the habitable zone of Kepler-186, Kepler-186 f is likely an icy world.
