Difference Between Ram and Rom

RAM and ROM are the two main types of computer memory. RAM is random access memory that can be accessed randomly and erased, while ROM is read only memory that is used to store permanent programs for booting the computer. RAM offers very fast access but is volatile, while ROM has slower access but is non-volatile and remains when the computer is turned off.
