Answer
PV is cluster storage that persists beyond Pod lifecycles.
Quick Answer
A PersistentVolume (PV) is a piece of storage provisioned by an admin or dynamically by a StorageClass — it exists in the cluster independently of Pods. It abstracts the underlying storage (NFS, AWS EBS, GCE PD) into a Kubernetes resource that can be claimed and used by Pods without them knowing the storage details.
