Cache is a high speed memory which is basically used for the following reason:

As the speed of the main memory is not as much as the speed of the CPU.so just to compensate the speed mistmatch between the CPU and main memory the cache is used in between the two.so whenever the CPU asks for any data its being checked with the cache memory and if present then "cache hit" occurs or else "cache miss" occurs wher the CPU takes the data form the main memory and that data's cpoy is being send to the cache for any further operation where the CPU can request for the same data.
