Is there any differences between index and indices in Elasticsearch?

Index in Elasticsearch is similar to Database. So what indices point to. Is it same?

Index represents Database (like customer DB) and indices represents table id (like Address table id in Customer DB) - (i.e)

Index is a collection of documents and indices is a document id. In Elastic Search,to search one document, we will use index id or indices id & name .

indices are the plural form of index. In case of more than One index, we call it indices (indexes can also be used)
