Software is usually developer-friendly readable code while firmware consists of low-level machine code that isn't easy to comprehend by humans. Software is also not tied to the underlying hardware. Usually, you can have software work on multiple platforms and operating systems regardless of the hardware.
Firmware is stored in non-volatile memory – either read-only memory (ROM) or programmable memory such as EPROM, EEPROM, or flash. Changing a device's firmware stored in ROM requires physically replacing the memory chip – although some chips are not designed to be removed after manufacture.
Firmware is a form of microcode or program embedded into hardware devices to help them operate effectively. Hardware like cameras, mobile phones, network cards, optical drives, printers, routers, scanners, and television remotes rely on firmware built into their memory to function smoothly.
