RAM stands for Random Access Memory. It does not specify whether it is volatile or non-volatile. RAM is just an access method just like SAM (serial access memory eg. magnetic tapes). The memory you are talking about is called primary memory of the computer which is semiconductor memory. Data can be stored in it as long as it is powered on since data is stored in the form of electric charge.
Even Hard disks are RAM because you can randomly access any data from anywhere in the HDD
