Hey mate! Here is your answer.

Unlike DNA, RNA in biological cells is predominantly a single-stranded molecule.
While DNA contains deoxyribose, RNA contains ribose, characterised by the presence of the 2'-hydroxyl group on the pentose ring.

This hydroxyl group makeRNA less stable than DNA because it is more susceptible to hydrolysis.

Physical stability. DNA is more stable than RNA, due to its chemical structure. So, it is less likely to be degraded.
informational stability. DNA is double helix, so the information can be preserved during replication thanks to complementary pair of nucleotide.

Simplicity. Information is stored in DNA by the sequence/order of 4 nucleotides, and it is linear. That is more simple than storing information in a protein, which is made up of 20 amino acids, and is a 3D structure.
