The sequence of zones in the primary growth of a root, moving from the root cap inward is the zone of cell division, zone of elongation, and zone of differentiation. This is because the root cap contains meristematic cells that continuously divide to produce new cells that form the root. The zone of elongation is where the newly formed cells elongate and increase in length. The zone of differentiation is where the elongated cells develop into specific types of root tissues.
