A steep face of a plateau is called a escarpment. An escarpment is a long, steep slope, especially one at the edge of a plateau or separating areas of land at different heights. It is typically formed by erosion or faulting processes over time.
The feature you are describing is known as a cliff. Cliffs are formed by erosion or tectonic activity and are characterized by a steep vertical or near-vertical rock face. They can be found at the edge of plateaus, mountains, or along coastlines.
A crag is a rugged outcrop or a steep rock face on a mountain, often used for rock climbing. A cliff is a steep rock face or slope, typically found near a body of water or at the edge of a plateau. Cliffs are usually taller and more vertical than crags.

A steep drop-off from the edge of a plateau is commonly referred to as a "cliff" or "escarpment." These geological features are formed by erosion and can create dramatic landscapes. Escarpments often mark the transition between different elevations and are characterized by their steep, vertical or near-vertical slopes.

It is a Martian mesa, I mean, a high plateau with steep sides that is casting peculiar shadows making it look like a face.

Too vague a question. WHICH plateau? There are any number of plateaux around the world! If it's a limestone plateau then any caves in it will be karst caves - though there may also be mass-movement caves (a type of landslip feature) behind cliffs or very steep slopes forming the plateau edge.
