Explanation:

Cash and cash equivalents  are company's current assets that are cash or can be converted into cash immediately. They are the most liquid of current assets.

We are all familiar with cash.   Cash equivalents are short-term investments and commitments which a company can enter into using "temporarily idle cash" and they can easily be converted into cash as needed.    Included in cash equivalents are bank accounts and marketable debt securities with less than 90 days' maturity period.  The expression means that they are equivalent to cash but are not cash because of their ease of convertibility.
