non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices; class of storage medium used in computers and other electronic devices
Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of storage in computers and electronic devices that keeps its data even when powered off, unlike regular memory that loses information when the device shuts down. It's useful because it can permanently hold important instructions and information that devices need to function, without requiring constant power to maintain them.

Many game consoles use interchangeable ROM cartridges, allowing for one system to play multiple games. Shown here is the inside of a Pokémon Silver Game Boy cartridge. The ROM is the IC on the right labeled "MX23C1603-12A".
Read-only memory (ROM) is a form of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be electronically modified after the manufacture of the memory device. Read-only memory is useful for storing software that is rarely changed during the life of the system, also known as firmware. Software applications, such as video games, for programmable devices can be distributed as plug-in cartridges containing ROM.
