Save 


Definition:

Save is the command given which stores information on a disk, tape, or other device.
 


Explanation:

Work on a computer is done in RAM which is temporary memory.  This memory is erased when a computer is turned off.  Saving work places information and data onto a permanent storage space such as a hard drive, floppy disk, or tape.  Here the information is not lost when the computer is turned off.
