Firmware refers to programs that are fixed, low-level operations. Since the BIOS is hard coded on a chip, it can be classified as firmware.
Firmware
The easier question would be what IS a reason to update. If your software or hardware does not support the functions they were meant to and your BIOS has firmware that can make it function, then this is reason enough to consider flashing yur BIOS. Upgrading BIOS is something you simply don't do on a whim as you could adversely compromise behavior and possibly indirectly damage other hardware.
CD/DVD drives and printers use Firmware
It is commonly referred to as "flashing" the BIOS
It's called firmware.

BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output system. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. BIOS deals with Hardware device code but UEFI deals with the firmware level.
The process of upgrading or refreshing the ROM BIOS chip is called flashing BIOS. The power menu in BIOS setup allows you to configure automatic power saving features.
We can't format bios.it is permanent program.we can flash the bios by upgrading bios update....By ---Rajesh Arthimalla.
is it BIOS?
That'd be software installed directly onto a piece of hardware which is the operating code for that piece of hardware. For example, a hardware RAID controller might have firmware on it that controls its operation.
