[Please see my reply below this original.] Caves are very rare formation usually found in mountains. They are vary rare as they are formed exclusively from a very unique creature that was found on earth in the jerassic period. The creature is called the secallius lumosur. This translate to giant worm. It lived most of its life underground, only coming into the outside world to mate. Caves can be found in very few places these days due to collapses and the extinction of the giant worm. They can be found in Germany and Russia.

Caves are very common formations.

Yes they are found in mountainous areas but not exclusively so: they need limestone uplands but the relief need not be ever so high.

They do not have biological origins although their host lilestone may be highly fossiliferous.

That limestone may well be Jurassic (not "Jerassic") but could also be Carboniferous or Cretaceous: most of the UK' caves are in CarboniferousLimestone though some are in late Jurassic rock. Most French caves are in Jurassic and Cretaceous Limestones.

I've no idea where you found yourSecallius Lumosurbut it looks made-up.

What can be found in Germany and Russia?The worm or the cave?Both countries have caves - so does the UK, USA, China, Iran and many other countries.

Right - the serious answer to the question itself, as I assume the questioner wanted;
Most caves are in limestone uplands offeringsuitable geological, hydrological and long-term climatic conditions to encourage cave development,which proceeds by rain-water sinking into the rock's joints and other fractures and slowly dissolving it.

It depends on the cave. Since many caves are limestone (water carves it nicely), you usually find limestone. But granite is common in New Hampshire & Vermont.

What kind of rock would you probably find in a cave?

You would likely find sedimentary rock in caves, as it is common for caves to form in limestone, dolomite, or sandstone due to the processes of erosion and underground water flow. Igneous and metamorphic rocks are less common in caves, but can also be present in certain geological settings.

What biome has caves in it?

Well, depending on what type of cave we are talking about here (Underwater caves, Underground caves, Mountain range caves, Man-made caves) you can likely derive your own conclusion with some simple research. Caves, in general, do not really belong to any specific Biome. All biomes have some kind of cave somewhere on earth. There are caves on every corner of the earth so the answer to your question is that there are caves in every Biome.
