ROM stands for Read-Only Memory, a type of non-volatile storage that is used to store firmware or software that is not intended to be modified frequently. It is called "read-only" because, in its traditional form, the data stored in ROM can be read but not easily written to or erased. This makes it ideal for critical system functions, such as booting up a computer, where stability and reliability are essential. Over time, variations like EEPROM and Flash memory have emerged, allowing for some reprogrammability while still retaining the core characteristics of ROM.
