The data will remain persistent on the host, but note that it also only exists on this particular host. If you need to access it again, you need to make sure the pod always ends up on the same specific node. See example below. Otherwise, write your scripts in such a way that they check for existence of the local data, and if it is not there yet, copy it over from somewhere on the internet.
'''In contrast to Ceph storage, local paths on the hosts are not backed up. You have been warned.'''
