firmware is:

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "computer hardware" is incorrect because firmware is software, not hardware.
• "a system of networks" is incorrect as firmware is not related to a network system.
• "software that is embedded in hardware" is correct because firmware is a type of software that is permanently or semi - permanently stored in hardware devices (like BIOS in a computer's motherboard) to perform specific functions for that hardware.
