What is ROM in a computer and how does it differ from other types of memory?

Read-only memory (ROM) in a computer is a type of non-volatile memory that stores data permanently and cannot be easily modified or erased. Unlike random-access memory (RAM) which is volatile and temporary, ROM retains its data even when the computer is turned off. ROM is typically used to store essential system software and firmware that is necessary for the computer to function properly.
