Detailed explanation-1: -ROM is non-volatile memory, which means the information is permanently stored on the chip.
Detailed explanation-2: -ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power. A computer Basic Input Output System (BIOS) firmware is stored in ROM.
Detailed explanation-3: -ROM is non-volatile memory that permanently stores instructions for your computer.
Detailed explanation-4: -In a volatile memory, the process can both read and write. It means that the process would have direct access to the data and information within it. In a non-volatile memory, the process can only read. It means that the processor won’t have direct access to the data and information within.
Detailed explanation-5: -Because ROM is read-only, it cannot be changed; it is permanent and non-volatile, meaning it also holds its memory even when power is removed. By contrast, random access memory (RAM) is volatile; it is lost when power is removed. The use of the similar term “non-volatile memory” is applicable here (more on that later.)
