a byte is abasic storage unit in memory. when application program instructions and data are transferd to memory from storage devices.
byte addressable memory refers to memory address that is accessed one byte (8 bits) at a time as opposed to 2 byte(16 bits), 4 byte(32 bits) or 8 byte(64 bits) addressable memory.
There is no such thing as 14-bit byte addressable memory. There IS, however, 16-bit byte addressable memory, which I hope is what you meant. In that case, you simply divide 16 by 4 to get 16/4 = 4 nibbles. If you did in fact mean 14-bit address, then it would be 14/4 = 3.5 nibbles
Yes, the CPU is directly addressable by the memory.
Depending on the architecture of the computer one addressable memory location might be called a word, a character, a parcel, a decimal digit, a byte, etc.
A byte is the basic unit of information in a computer. It is usually the smallest addressable object in memory. The size of a byte is a function of the design of the computer, but nearly universally, it has come to mean 8 bits. (Octet is a more precise definition of 8 bits of memory, in case there is any dichotomy.)
Of the 128-byte internal RAM of the 8051, only 16 bytes are bit-addressable. The rest must be accessed in byte format. The bit-addressable RAM locations are 20H to 2FH.
Hey ! in bit addressable , one can reach the bits (PORT 1.0,PORT1.1,PORT1.2,..etc..) of the ports in the programming while byte addressable only allows the bytes(PORT 1) to be addressed. therefore,there is difference in programming instructions too.
The bit addressable memory in 8051 is compose from 210 bits: - bit address space: 20H - 2FH bytes RAM = 00H - 7FH bits address; - SFR registers; The following addresses are NOT bit addressable, only 1-byte addressable: - 32 bytes RAM from 00H to 1FH (R0 - R7 registers in all four banks); - 80 bytes RAM general user from 30H to 7FH.

It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)
Bit addressability refers to the capability of a computer system to access and manipulate individual bits within a byte of memory. Unlike byte addressable systems, where memory is accessed in units of one byte (8 bits), bit addressable systems allow for operations on specific bits, enabling finer control and efficient data manipulation. This feature is particularly useful in applications requiring precise control over data storage, such as in embedded systems or digital signal processing.
