(bī´ōs) Acronym for basic input/output system, the built-in software that determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. On PCs, the BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions.

BIOS = Basic Input Output System

Its the software that tells the computer how to interact with the hardware devices in the computer. This is in ROM (or more oftem, an EPROM) and in most computers today, also defines other parameters such as allowing you to detect if the computer case has been opened, what the internal tempurature is, and even virus protection.
