Why on electrolysis of zinc nitrate zinc is formed on cathode?

The cathode is so named because it provides available free electrons, to which any cation such as zinc is attracted. When a zinc ion accepts an electron, it becomes a zinc atom and usually remains attached to the cathode, which therefore becomes plated with zinc. Since metallic zinc is itself electrically conductive, the process can continue until the supply of zinc cations from the solution is exhausted, so long as sufficient electrical energy is supplied.
