RAM: Stands for random access memory; refers to memory that the microprocessor can read from and write to. When you create something in memory, it’s done in RAM.
ROM: Stands for read-only memory. The microprocessor can read from ROM, but it can’t write to it or modify it. ROM is permanent. Often, ROM chips contain special instructions for the computer — important stuff that never changes. The microprocessor can access information stored on a ROM chip whenever it needs to. The instructions are always there because they’re not erasable.
Flash memory: A special type of memory that works like both RAM and ROM. You can write information to flash memory, like you can with RAM, but that information isn’t erased when the power is off, like it is with ROM.

" ROM is the term that is given to a part of computer memory that has its program permanently fixed. "Read-Only Memory" (ROM) is a permanent storage that has the boot up program and is used whenever the computer is "turned on".
Unlike ROM, "Random Access Memory" (RAM) is a temporary memory and it cannot store a permanent data where it will be deleted when the system is switched off."
