No idea. never seen that.
Does the heat damage on the cap offer a clue, like is there more damage on the inside or outside of cap?
Are the components Denso? odd looking rotor.
Any mods or changes to ignition system? Still wondering about brand of cap and rotor. As OSV speculates, a poor quality rotor and cap are my only guesses, unless you've made mods you haven't mentioned
what could cause a distributor cap and rotor to become liquified while driving
Spoiler
The distributor cap and rotor could liquefy due to excessive engine heat, a severe electrical short, or low-quality materials. It’s a serious issue requiring immediate attention to prevent further damage to your ignition system. I would like to share the https://academized.com/research-paper-writing-service website with you.

No theres no mods to ignition,the cap and rotor are from orielly's,used them for years and never had a prob.,distributor itself is oem.. I have no idea what happened,i've never seen that before
I'm not going to disagree with Denso, but to melt even a low-grade piece of plastic is going to require a lot of heat.
The only "likely" source of that heat that I can think of is a failed bearing. Pretty easy to check; pull out the distributor and turn it with your fingers. [BEFORE you pull out the distributor, turn the crank to TDC, with the (remnants of) the rotor pointing to #1. If you follow the FSM on installing the distributor, it will end up in the right place. Or, since the helical gear has 13 teeth, you could be off by about 28°]
