Cache is basically "RAM," or Random Access Memory that is set aside as a continually updated specialized buffer storage (usually in the form of a "temporary folder"), which is used to optimize data transfers between system elements with different characteristics. It is perfectly safe to delete your cache and very beneficial to do so, as it rids your computer of outdated data remnants.
