can i use cache components for data fetching functions?

Question

is use cache explicit for components or can i use it within data fetching functions to cache the response for say something like blog categories, where i may get blog categories in the header area and also in the body while minimizing fetches until the tag is revalidated?

You can use it for fetching functions as well. Take a look at these docs, especially function level part:https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/directives/use-cache#usage
