To "store" just means to keep anything safe for future use. "I store my bicycle in the garage during the winter". To stockpile specifically means gathering food or other supplies because you think you will need them soon. "There was a big storm coming, so my family stockpiled food and water, so we wouldn't have to leave the house."
