If you just want to remove both axis titles (xlab and ylab),
use plot(...., ann = FALSE).

If you want both axes to be free of ticks, etc, use
plot(...., ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE). This will also
remove the 'box' around the plot; you can add that
back with

  plot(....)
  box()

It's useful to study the documentation for ?plot.default to
which you are directed by ?plot.
