Primay = working with / extracting raw materials (agriculture, oil drilling, mining etc)

Secondary = Manufacture, shaping raw materials into something consumable (food processing, metal working, construction).

Tertiary = Service industry (hospitality, retail, finance etc).

Tertiary industries are therefore a level of abstraction away from producing anything that's actually physically useful. They sell intangible goods, in what essentially amounts to a virtual economy. Tertiary also earns significantly more money.

Primary = Manufactures basic direct consumables or raw materials / components for the Secondary Industry. eg Soap / Electronic components

Secondary = Manufactures complex products often by assembling various parts & technologies eg : Automobiles , Aeroplanes, Guns & Artillery.

Tertiary Industries = The ones who manufacture the hype needed to sell all of the above eg: Media , Nation states , Stock-markets , Political parties & Disasterists / Terrorists

tertiary industries are mainly service and intangible type for eg, doctors, lawyers, teachers etc

primary industries are mainly conversion of natural resources
eg. agriculture, foresty

secondary industries mainly produce goods which are readily available for consumers. they are finished goods

tertiary get the materials out of the ground e.g oil
secondary make the material into a product e.g they make plastic out of the oil
and primary sell the product that has been made e.g they will sell the plastic

it has nothing to do with importance

primary is first in importance, secondary second, ant tertiary third. it really depends on how needed they are.
