The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is software that resides right on your motherboard which allows the system to start up, test itself to ensure that all essential hardware is present and working, and load an operating system from whichever storage device(s) it's configured to load them from. The BIOS standard is slowly being phased out (more quickly in some PC brands than others *coughapplecough*) in favour of the more flexible, modern EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) standard. Both can be learned about in more detail on, say, Wikipedia.
