Why does my Mac start up in Recovery mode?

I turn on my MacBook Air and the recovery mode is on the screen. this happens once in a while for no known reason. Why and what should I do? Thank you.

Select a startup disk.


Settings that can be stored in NVRAM include sound volume, display resolution, startup-disk selection, time zone, and recent kernel panic information. The settings stored in NVRAM depend on your Mac and the devices that you're using with your Mac.
