Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -ROM (read-only memory) is a non-volatile memory type. This means it receives data and permanently writes it on a chip, and it lasts even after you turn off your computer. The data is coded to not be overwritten, so it’s used for things like your printer software or your startup programs.
Detailed explanation-2: -ROM is often primary memory because that’s where the boot code is stored, and accessing secondary memory requires some code to run, so that can’t be done until the boot code has run.
