RAM is basically a place for programs to store information that it needs to access quickly - as RAM is much faster access than a hard drive, NAND, etc. So the OS uses RAM as a buffer so to speak - between the processor & storage device.
So this is a place for the system to store things temporarily - you can't store things directly on RAM, as it would get cleared out on device shutdown/restart.

So that in my dictionary is a "ramdisk" does Android use a Ramdisk? It could possibly explain why...
