At a guess, I would say they get older!
It is the area of primary root growth where cells differentiate.
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.
Cells in the zone of elongation are actively elongating and increasing in length, while those in the zone of maturation have stopped elongating and are primarily focusing on their final differentiation and specialized functions. In the zone of elongation, cells are still undergoing cell division and stretching, whereas in the zone of maturation, cells are specialized and matured for their specific roles in the organism.
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 thymus gland, it promotes the maturation of T-cells.
The zone of maturation in plants is where cells complete their differentiation process and become specialized for specific functions, such as root hairs for absorbing water and nutrients. This zone is essential for the growth and development of roots, ensuring they can efficiently carry out their roles in anchoring the plant and supporting its functions.

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! :)
The thymus produces thymosin, which promotes the maturation of t cells.
