What’s the difference between RAM and ROM?

The main difference between RAM and ROM is that RAM is a type of volatile memory, meaning the content stored in RAM is lost when the power is turned off, while ROM is a type of non-volatile memory, meaning the content stored in ROM will remain even after the power is turned off. RAM is faster and more efficient than ROM and is mainly used for temporary storage of data and programs while ROM holds the instructions for the computer to start up and basic input/output operations.
