What is the area in your computer responsible for temporarily storing and processing data called?

Explanation

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) executes instructions but does not store data temporarily. A megabyte is a measure of data size. Read-Only Memory (ROM) holds permanent data that cannot be changed during normal operation. Random Access Memory (RAM) is the temporary storage that loads and processes data actively. Cache memory is a smaller, faster type of volatile memory but not the main space for data processing.
