Hi -
Some synths do not use the term arp, instead syn or in zebra's case "lupines" and Rhino uses "loops" plus I have seen seq as well.
Technically what's the difference of these and how does zen display them?

I guess technically, an Arp is a sequence of notes, thus getting its rhythmic component from a built-in sequencer or arpeggiator. On the other hand, a Loop gets its rhythmic component either from the samples it uses, or from its volume envelope. I don't see much point in differentiating them, so Zen displays them as "Loops".
[edit] Actually it might be interesting to make a distinction - in an Arp, it is possible to edit the sound to remove the rhythmic component, while typically, it is not so easy (or doesn't make much sense) to do so in a Loop.
