BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.
However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.

Explain volatile and non volatile memory?
Volatile is RAM and non-volatile is like a hard drive. More specifically, "Volatile" storage will erase its contents when power is removed, while "Non-volatile" storage will have permanently stored the data (until specifically told to erase it), even after power is removed.
Is a Dram a volatile or non volatile?
DRAM is a volatile memory
Is dram a volatile or non volatile?
DRAM is a volatile memory
Is dram non volatile?
