PRAM stands for "Parameter Random Access Memory," and is pronounced "P-ram." PRAM is a type of memory found in Macintosh computers that stores system settings. These settings include display settings (like screen resolution and color depth), the time zone setting, speaker volume, and the startup volume choice.
Sometimes the settings get corrupted and should be reset: Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support
What do you mean by "in recovery"? Have you seen this Apple document: If your Mac doesn't start up all the way - Apple Support
