Where do you see that?  If you're looking at the output of the df
command you may already see some named tmpfs, but can have more than
one, and you can make them any size you like, within resource limits.

df --human-readable --print-type
Filesystem           Type      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs                tmpfs      32M 1016K   32M   4% /run
devtmpfs             devtmpfs  8.0M     0  8.0M   0% /dev
/dev/sda2            ext4       50G   30G   17G  64% /
tmpfs                tmpfs     5.9G   80M  5.8G   2% /dev/shm
cgroup_root          tmpfs     5.9G     0  5.9G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sda3            ext4      864G  387G  434G  48% /home
cgmfs                tmpfs     100K     0  100K   0% /run/cgmanager/fs
tmpfs                tmpfs     2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /mnt/tmpfs
tmpfs                tmpfs     8.0G  3.5G  4.5G  44% /home/chroot/mnt/memory

The bottom two are the ones that I added, but you can see there are
others that the system uses, and those are mounted on boot.  /dev/shm
is often used by applications for temporary files (shm = shared
memory.)
