Think of it as a temporary space or "Blackboard" or "workspace" for your CPU.
Like the top of your desk. Limited amounts of things can be worked on at the same time but the access is much faster for things in "Ram" or on the top of your desk. The desk drawers or file cabinets might be a hard drive or disk drive. You can still get stuff from them but slower. But they hold a lot more.
Hope this helps!

∙ 11y agoNo, RAM is not a storage device. RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It is actually a type of primary memory. Primary memory has two types, RAM and ROM. True RAM temporarily stores data, mainly during processing, but it cannot be classified as a secondary storage device. It is in fact part of primary memory!
