What is floppy disc?

A floppy disk is a type of magnetic storage medium that was commonly used for storing and transferring data in the late 20th century. It is a thin, flexible disk made of a magnetic material encased in a plastic shell. Floppy disks were typically used in computers to store files, programs, and other data. They were popular in the 1980s and 1990s but have largely been replaced by more modern storage technologies such as USB drives and cloud storage.
