A stockpile is a large store of something, saved up and kept ready for future use, especially food, weapons, or supplies. Countries stockpile things like oil or medicine in case of an emergency. 'To stockpile' is also a verb - to build up this kind of large store, often because you're worried you might need it later, like people stockpiling toilet paper before a storm.
