‘Cash savings’ is describing liquid funds that are relatively quick and easy to access in emergencies. Because we are now in a time when emergencies are getting more expensive due to the risig cost of living.
Many people in America have some money locked away in IRAs and 401k accounts for retirement (though a lot don’t). But if you try to access that for emergency expenses you get penalized heavily via charges.

Edit: fixed a couple of typos.
Ah good to know. That is a confusing expression
You can loan yourself money from 401k at about 6% interest paid to yourself, better way to avoid the penalties.
