In this reaction, Zn is oxidized from Zn^2+ to Zn(s) and Ag is reduced from Ag(s) to Ag^+.
Therefore, Zn^2+ is the oxidizing agent and Ag(s) is the reducing agent.

Zn^2+(aq) is the oxidizing agent and Ag(s) is the reducing agent.
In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the oxidizing agent is the substance that undergoes reduction, while the reducing agent is the substance that undergoes oxidation. In this reaction, Zn^2+ is reduced to Zn, while Ag is oxidized to Ag+. Therefore, Zn^2+ is the oxidizing agent and Ag is the reducing agent.
