Unless the "explanatory table" should have its own, separate \caption
, you needn't do anything special. Just include the tabular
material inside the figure
environment. More specifically, (a) start the figure
environment, (b) insert the graph (via an \includegraphics
or similar statement), (c) insert a tabular
-like environment, (d) provide a \caption
statement, either at the top or bottom of the figure
environment, and (e) end the figure
environment.
Update, after the OP posted an MWE (minimum working example). The preceding suggestion applies to your case. The only addition is that I'd insert either \medskip
or \bigskip
between the end of the graph and the start of the tabular
environment.
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

\usepackage{siunitx} % for '\si' macro
\usepackage{array} % for '\extrarowheight' macro
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h]
\setlength\extrarowheight{2pt} % for a less-cramped "look"

environment ... provide mwe that we can show you how to do this.table
, or it can mean atabular
-like environment. It sounds like you're using the latter meaning. If so, just include the explanatory material (in tabular form) inside thefigure
environment.
