Best Answer

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.

The root is divided into three zone: the meristematic zone at the root tip, the elongation zone, and the maturation zone.

Cells are actively dividing at the root tip. In the elongation zone, cell walls are loosened and the central vacuole swells with water in order to expand the length of the root. In the maturation zone, the xylem and phloem of the stele are formed and lateral root formation can occur.

The zone of elongation is the area where the cells push the tip deeper and deeper into the soil.
