The Zodiac roughly coincides with the Ecliptic - the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. However, "The Zodiac" specifically refers to the constellations among those paths. Traditionally, there are 12 such constellations, though the actual Ecliptic passes through 13 constellations, according to the modern boundaries of the constellations.

That narrow path of sky went right through the same 12 constellations (Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius and Capricornus).That path is the Ecliptic. The constellations along the Ecliptic are the constellations of the Zodiac - Zoo means animals and Zodiac means "ring of animals"
