Step-by-step explanation:

Zinc is the anode (solid zinc is oxidised). Silver is the cathode (silver ions are reduced).

By convention in standard cell notation, the anode is written on the left and the cathode is written on the right. So, in this cell: Zinc is the anode (solid zinc is oxidised). Silver is the cathode (silver ions are reduced).
