That is a .bmp file (Bit MaP).
Graphic images where each pixel is bit-mapped and take up more memory?

Its called a raster, or bitmapped graphic.
The image is split into a two dimensional grid of pixels. If the brightness of the pixel is below a certain value, it is considered black, otherwise it is considered white. Each pixel is mapped onto 1 bit in memory, and if it is white, a 1 is stored, else a 0 is stored. (Sometimes it is the other way round)
Bitmap image is raster or pixel based image. Bitmap image is made up of pixels, every pixel in grid have its own position and color. Pixels are mapped to the pixel grid, that's why its name is Bitmap.
It is a "picture element" which is a single dot of color in an image.
PIXEL
It depends on complexity of a drawn picture, but in most cases, vector graphics takes less space on a media: a bit-mapped image stores information about each pixel of an image, wille vector image stores only types of objects and parameters for further rendering.
It is a PIXEL
A bitmap is a series of bits which represents a rasterized graphic image, each pixel being represented as a group of bits.
It is a pixel based graphic, so when you save the file memory for every pixel colour is remembered. Usually this is the main type of graphic format, bmp, jpeg etc. It is a pixel based graphic, so when you save the file memory for every pixel colour is remembered.

Vector graphics use less memory as they describe (in mathematical terms) shapes rather than the color and position of each pixel in an image.
