Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: The statement is false. Read-only memory (ROM) is also known as firmware. We can only read data but cannot write on it. Read only memory is non-volatile in nature, i.e. data is not lost when power is off. A ROM stores such instructions that are required to start a computer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Non-Volatile Memory remains within the system, even when the device is powered down. ROM is one type of non-volatile memory. It is used because of its ability to store larger amounts of readable information. This type of memory cannot be easily altered, so it is not generally considered writable.
