ROM is classified as Secondary Storage because, it retains information even when not being read/refreshed or powered in some way. As opposed to Primary Storage which constantly requires power and must be refreshed to retain any information it contains.

ROM stands for Read Only Memory, it is commonly used with CD-ROM, which stands for Compact Disk Read Only Memory.

There is also an acronym of WORM, which is Write Once Read Many.

Is it possible to boot computer without memory?

No. First, the ROM BIOS is a type of memory. If the machine has no instructions to allow it to boot, it cannot do so. But often, the ROM needs to unpack its instructions somewhere else, and if there is no space for it to do that, it won't boot. Plus the POST tests will detect no memory, assume an error, and fail. Now, it would be possible to build a computer where everything is in ROM, but again, ROM is a type of memory.
