Hi, When the spider records the page and starts displaying the page in search .It is called indexing and Caching is basically a term used for the saving of a page's data by a search engine.
Caching- Google took a snapshot of your website when it last visited and stored the data in case your website went down or if there are some any other issues. Search engine indexing collects, parses, and stores data to facilitate fast and accurate information retrieval.
Cache means Google only take a snapshot of your website, but in case of site index Google store or collect the data of your website.

Hi, Indexing is a process to make a webpage searchable on search engine whereas the process of caching refers to providing a reprinting content snapshot. Thanks,
Index: Googlebot processes most of each of the pages it crawls in order to collect a massive index of all the words it sees and their position on each page. Cache: Google takes a snapshot most of of each page it examines and saves that version as a back-up. The cached version is what Google uses to judge if a page is a good match for your query.
Index means when spider check your website data and get automatically add in index of search engine and cache is a snapshot by Google which is generally happen within a regular intervals.
