CAVES - just that.
The word "cavern" is occasionally applied to large chambers ("rooms" in US cavers' parlance,I think) and by their owners, to show-caves; but the normal word in all English-language caving speech and text, for any natural subterranean voidirrespective of type and size, is just, CAVE!

Caves are typically formed through a process known as erosion, where water and chemicals gradually break down the rock, creating hollow spaces underground.

These formations can vary greatly in size and complexity, and often contain unique geological features such as stalactites and stalagmites.
