ORG declares the starting address where the code will be located in memory.

ORG (or sometimes, ".ORG" ) is an assembler directive.

assembler directives do not get translated into an instruction.

directives tell assembler *how* to assemble the source code into machine code. ORG sets the memory address at which the next instruction will be stored.
