Squirrel cage type is a type of Induction motor. It tells that the rotor is "squirrel cage" type. Another type of induction motor is with "slip ring" type of rotor.
Squirrel cage type is most widely used Induction motor.

What is generator slip?
Most electrical machines are induction machines, e.g. the motor of vacuum cleaners and refrigerators. The spinning metallic rotor is not connected to the outside mains electrical cables. It has a structure (called a squirrel-cage, since it resembles a cylindrical cage for a small animal) within which electrical currents are induced from the coils of the outside stator, which are connected to the mains supply. As a motor, the squirrel-cage rotor electrical currents oscillate at a slightly slower rate those in the stator, consequently the rotor is 'dragged around', so giving the motor action. However, if the rotating shaft of the same device is forced round faster than the changes in the stator, the machine becomes a generator of electricity. The relative change in speed between the electrical currents in the stator and rotor is called the SLIP; positive for generating action and negative for motor action.
Why is the frequency of a synchronous generator locked into its rate of shaft rotation?
By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.
Why a squirrel cage induction generator is used in wind power generation?
I think its cost is low n also its having the high reliability.
Why is the squirrel cage induction motor one of the most reliable machines in industry?
because the squirrel cage induction motor is cheaper and high starting performance is not required.
Can a Squirrel Cage Induction motor can be converted to Slip Ring Induction Motor?
yes
Disadvantages of a squirrel cage motor?
Squirrel Cage Induction Motor Disadvantages:Some of disadvantages or demerits of squirrel cage induction motors are listed below:Main disadvantage of squirrel cage induction motor is that they have poor starting torque and high starting currents. Starting torque will be in the order of 1.5 to 2 times the full load torque and starting current is as high as 5 to 9 times the full load current. In slip ring induction motors, higher starting torque can be attained by providing an external resistance in the rotor circuits during starting of the slip-ring induction motor. This arrangement in slip-ring induction motors also reduces the high inrush currents during starting of induction motor.Squirrel cage induction motors are more sensitive to the supply voltage fluctuations. When the supply voltage is reduced, induction motor draws more current. During voltage surges, increase in voltage saturates themagnetic components of the squirrel cage induction motor.Speed control is not possible in squirrel cage induction motor. This is one of the major diadvantages of squirrel cage induction motors.The total energy loss during starting of squirrel cage motor is more compared to slip ring motors. This point is significant if the application involves frequent starting

When will a synchornous motor acts as an induction motor?
If there is an extra winding called the "damper winding" in addition to the field winding.Then the synchronous motor will operate as a squirrel cage induction motor.Whats is a damper winding ?A damper winding is made up of copper bars which are placed in the slots in the pole faces of the rotor.These are short circuited with the help of end rings in a squirrel cage induction motor.
What is squirrel cage?
it is a cage that holds a squirrel over time
