Cache files are temporary copies of a page.

When you navigate to a page on Wikipedia that has no cache, the software rebuilds it from the wikitext and then caches the newly rebuilt version. The next time anyone visits the page, the software delivers the cached version instead of building the page again.

Purging a page clears the cache and forces the page to be rebuilt from wikitext.
