Explanation
In Salesforce Flow, a Record variable stores an entire sObject record and all of its fields-including the Id field. To store and later reference a Record Type ID, the administrator should use a Record variable typed to the RecordType object. This allows the flow to retrieve the RecordType record (via a Get Records element) and store the full record, then access its Id field wherever needed downstream. A Boolean variable holds only true/false. A Text variable could technically store an 18-character ID string, but it is not the semantically correct or recommended variable type for this use case. There is no native 'ID variable' type in Salesforce Flow.
