caption
This is the correct term provided you mean the 'title' of the table (usually) under it.
Example:
[Line graph]
Figure I: Relative frequency of covid over time
Legend is different, it is when a graph has several bars or (in a pie chart) segments which are then explained. A graph can have a legend and a caption.
Example:
[Pie chart]
Legend] [Clockwise from top] BA - SE - RJ - SP - MG - Others
Figure II: Relative frequency of covid in different Brazilian states, 1st quarter 2020
Pictures can also have captions:
[Photo]
Photo 1: View of Copacabana Beach, as seen from Leme
