A ROM (Read-Only Memory) chip stores firmware and software that is not intended to be modified or erased frequently. It retains data even when the power is turned off, making it essential for booting up computers and other devices. ROM chips are used to store critical system instructions and data that are needed for hardware initialization and operation. Unlike RAM, which is volatile and loses data when power is lost, ROM provides stable, permanent storage for essential information.
