It can be physical, but somebody else has to hold it. There's always a wall between you and the asset, to make sure you can't liquidate or earn money off of it to transfer money out of the retirement plan. That wall = somebody else (bank, wealth manager, etc.) that the IRS already approved.
Awesome, thanks! Does this mean you hold something like SLV, or can you convert a portion to physical silver?
