What is TWRP recovery??
If you have landed here by searching then you may not need an answer for this.
TWRP stands for Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) is a custom recovery for Android phones, which is an open source project. Team Win project started on porting of CM7 for HTC EVO 4G and later settled to work on a custom recovery project which is now TWRP, one of the leading custom recovery available to date covering a wide range of available Android phones and Tablets.
Why do you need TWRP recovery for Motorola Phone?
With the help of TWRP recovery, you will be able to install a wide range of custom ROMs available for a particular device. It’s for sure, an Android device won’t get the latest Android update after 2 or 3 years of its inception. If you need to have the latest Android running on your phone, then you need to install a custom Android ROM like Lineage OS Custom ROM, CyanogenMod Custom ROM, Resurrection Remix Custom ROM etc. and this is not possible without a custom recovery like TWRP recovery.
In addition to installing custom ROM, the TWRP custom recovery has some more features as compared to any other stock recovery. Here are few features of them:
– Touch screen support
– Current ROM image backup and restore
– F2FS filesystem support
– MTP support (You can access files while using TWRP recovery)
– ADB sideload installation support
– Many more other features

Blessings.
I have a Motorola Z3 Play Android 9.0
What is the version of TWRP are you flashing?
Can you try the following?
Download the https://dl.twrp.me/beckham/twrp-installer-3.3.1-1-beckham.zip file and the https://dl.twrp.me/beckham/twrp-3.3.1-1-beckham.img
Boot into the recovery using the following command:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-beckham.img
then you can flash the above zip file (twrp-installer-3.3.1-1-beckham.zip) that you have downloaded from the TWRP screen.
This is the same thing I had to do for my own Google Pixel running on Android Pie.
You can go to fastboot mode and execute the following command to see what all partitions are available:
fastboot getvar all
The above command will list all fastboot variables currently active. You just need to look for partition-type.
On my Google Pixel phone running on Android Pie I don’t see any recovery partition.
Looks like the boot partition contains the recovery and the kernel in Oreo and later version.
So, there is no recovery partition and the recovery image has to be flashed onto the boot partition.
