Swap memory in Linux is a type of virtual memory that is used to supplement the system’s RAM. When the system runs out of RAM, inactive pages from RAM are moved to the swap space, which frees up RAM for active processes. The swap space is typically located on a hard disk or solid-state drive, and it can be used to store data when the system runs low on memory.
