Answer:

ROM is capable of storing data when the computer is off (or powered off) and RAM loses it's data when the computer is powered off. ROM is a permanent storage while RAM is a temporary storage.

In a nutshell,

Read-Only-Memory (ROM) is a non-volatile memory storage while Random-Access-Memory (RAM) is a volatile memory storage.
