Well, they are both types of memory that consume space and storage in the computer. So in a way, ROM is a type of RAM. Hope this helped
***Edit:
No, ROM is Read-Only Memory such as a CD-ROM, DVD, Magnetic Tape, or other form of media that is one time use only. Generally used for data storage.
RAM, or Random Access Memory, is a set of chips that fit on your motherboard used to hold programs and processes in active memory. When you open a program like Microsoft Word, it calls the executable and all necessary resources into RAM so it can actually run.
Hope this helps more.

ROM
When purchasing a computer, you need only be concerned with the RAM. All computers have ROM, but for the most part, the type or amount of it will make no impact on any aspect of the computer's operation. Since no applications you run are going to rely on ROM for storage, that leaves only RAM.

RAM is random access memory and ROM is read-only memory.
