The physical components of a computer are called "hardware".
In relation, the non-physical parts of a computer are called "software". It can be thought of in a way that "hard" means it is tangible (you can touch it), while "soft" means it is intangible (you cannot touch it). This can be a good way for some people to remember the difference and meanings to both terms.
