Detailed explanation-1: -Read-only memory, or ROM, is a type of computer storage containing non-volatile, permanent data that, normally, can only be read, not written to. ROM contains the programming that allows a computer to start up or regenerate each time it is turned on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary storage (also called external memory or auxiliary storage) is a storage medium that holds data or information until it is deleted or overwritten if the computer has no power. That is, it stores data permanently for future use, for example, hard disk, floppy disk. etc.
Detailed explanation-3: -ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory. It refers to computer memory chips containing permanent or semi-permanent data. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off your computer, the contents of ROM will remain. Almost every computer comes with a small amount of ROM containing the boot firmware.
Detailed explanation-4: -ROM devices are used for storage of data that does not require modification, hence the name ‘read only memory’.
Detailed explanation-5: -Data present in Read-Only Memory (ROM) is not volatile, it is permanent. Data will remain unchanged even when there is a disruption in the power supply.
