Returns 0 if the particle is primary, i.e. produced by the event generator and not Geant4. Particles produced by Geant4 (i.e. secondary particles) include those produced in interaction with detector material, Bremsstrahlung, and the decay products of long-lived particles (e.g. muons, pions, K_S0, K_L0, Lambdas, ...).
