Detailed explanation-1: -Volatile memory, in contrast to non-volatile memory, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information; it retains its contents while powered on but when the power is interrupted, the stored data is quickly lost.
Detailed explanation-2: -ROM is non-volatile, not requiring power to store data. RAM is volatile, requiring power to store data. ROM is often used to store the BIOS program on a computer motherboard.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is much faster to read from and write to than other kinds of storage, such as a hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD) or optical drive. Random Access Memory is volatile. That means data is retained in RAM as long as the computer is on, but it is lost when the computer is turned off.
