Zonal has nothing to do with the category of highest rank or majority.
One of the types of classification of soils is based on existence of horizons within the soil. That Soil which has layers such as Top soil, Horizon A, Horizon B, Horizon C which are present over the bedrock is classified as Zonal Soils.
