The principle of locality of reference suggests if a reference is made to a memory location, next reference is close to it. So, it is a basic assumption that processors fetch memory locations close to it, to optimize fetch time. Since the array is stored in row-major form AFAIK, elements in the same row are closer to each other and more likely to be in cache together, as compared to elements in different rows.
