Elongation
This is the organization of roots from the base closest to the plant itself to the tip of the root: zone of maturation - cells specialize to carry particular functions (root hairs present) zone of elongation - rows of newly produced cells elongate zone of cell division - new cells being produced root cap - covers the growing tip

The zone of cell division is a region in plant roots where cells actively divide to allow for growth and root elongation. This region contains meristematic cells that continuously divide and give rise to new cells for growth and development.
The zone of rapid cell division that produces growth is called the apical meristem, which is found at the primary root and stem tips. This region contains undifferentiated cells that continuously divide to produce new cells for plant growth and development.
zone of cell division-zone of elongation-zone of maturation
yaaaaa.... I HAVE NO IDEA AASK SOMEONE ELSE!!!^ dumb answer.anyways, there are only three zones of a root in the longitudinal section.They are as follows:The Zone of Cell Division/MitosisThe Zone of ElongationThe Zone of MaturationThe Zone of Mitosis: Immediately proximal to the root cap is a cluster of cells that do not actively divide. This pad of cells is often called the quiescent center. These cells probably represent a reserve of cells to be recruited later in time for the meristem. As such they serve as corrections for proliferating somatic mutations. Just proximal to the quiescent center are cells that divide rapidly by mitosis, adding new cells to the length of the root. This is of course just one contribution to elongation of the root.The Zone of Elongation: Just proximal to the zone of mitosis is a zone of cell elongation. In this part of the root the newly created cells expand in their long dimension to push the meristem and root cap through the soil. The addition of the cells and their elongation are the tandem contributors to root elongation. This elongation involves resculpting the wall, growth of the cell within, a coalescence of the vacuoles to form a single large vacuole, and maturation of the organelles in these cells.The Zone of Maturation: As we keep moving proximally (away from the root apex), we find that the cells that are elongating are also differentiating. They are becoming distinguishable from each other. Some are destined to be typical parenchyma cells, while others will mature to be sclerenchyma cells.Hope this helped! :)
In the maturation zone of a root, cells undergo differentiation and growth, leading to the formation of specialized cells like root hairs for nutrient absorption. This zone is where newly formed cells mature, elongate, and develop into specific cell types to carry out their functions in the root system.
Root cap, meristematic cells zone, root hair zone, mature tissue system etc.
The zone of elongation occurs when the cells in this zone stretch and lengthen as small vacuoles within the cytoplasm coalesce and fill with water. One or two large vacuoles occupy almost all of the cell volume in fully elongated cells. Cellular expansion in this zone is responsible for pushing the root cap and apical tip forward through the soil.
It is the area of primary root growth where cells differentiate.
The cells in an onion tip but not the onion itself are usually actively dividing cells located at the growing tip of the onion root, known as the root cap cells. These cells help protect the delicate meristematic cells responsible for root growth and can often be found in the root zone of plants.
The region of the root where root hairs are located is called the root hair zone. It is found just behind the root tip in the zone of maturation where new cells differentiate into root hairs to absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
