When am running flash programmer in NIOS IDE pointing all the sections to my SRAM what is happening ? is the program written to SRAM or EPCS flash ??

When i write the elf and sof using the programmer i am able to re-boot after power off also, how does this happen ? If SRAM is volatile and gets erased on power off, how is it able to work on power on ?
