ROM, is Read Only Memory. It is a secure chip on which the manufacturers have burned data the computer needs in order to boot up the Operating System. It is not affected on losing power. RAM, on the other-hand, is Random Access Memory, and is very volatile, losing any data held in memory on powering down.
