ROM (Read Only Memory): As the name suggests it can only be read and can not be used to write. It is used to store data permanently that’s why it is known as non-volatile memory.
RAM (Random Access Memory): This memory can be accessed randomly and used for storing data temporarily; that's why it is also known as volatile memory. Its data gets lost when the power is disconnected.
