In a longitudinal section of a root. Starting from the tip upward the four zones occur in the following order:

Step-by-step solution

The root tip can be divided into three zones: a zone of cell division, a zone of elongation, and a zone of maturation. The zone of cell division is closest to the root tip and is made up of the actively-dividing cells of the root meristem, which contains the undifferentiated cells of the germinating plant. The zone of elongation is where the newlyformed cells increase in length, thereby lengthening the root. zone of cell maturation where the root cells differentiate into specialized cell types.
