An image may help the reader understand any text by creating a visual to relate information too.

Answer:

Images create a visual representation of the text, while the caption is the text that accompanies an image, giving it meaning or clarification.

Step-by-step explanation:

Much more than merely embellishing or elucidating the text, illustration can thus represent, describe, narrate, symbolize, express, play, persuade, normalize, punctuate, in addition to emphasizing its own configuration, draw attention to its support or to the visual language. It is important to note that the image rarely performs a single function, but, as with verbal language, functions are organized hierarchically in relation to a dominant function.

On the other hand, subtitles are the texts that appear immediately below or alongside (or, more rarely, above) an image, identifying it, contextualizing it and adding some information from the text that accompanies it.
