The pericycle is responsible for the initiation of lateral roots in dicot and monocot roots. This follows from NCERT principle where the relation explains the outcome clearly for students in simple steps.

Root system zonation comprises protective root cap covering meristematic zone with dividing initials, rapid elongation zone where cells undergo extensive vacuolar expansion increasing length dramatically, and maturation zone where differentiation completes and specialized cells emerge. Root hairs, tubular tip-growing extensions of specialized trichoblast epidermal cells, arise exclusively in maturation zone after cessation of elongation ensuring stable anchorage and efficient water and mineral nutrient absorption. Specification depends on positional signaling from underlying cortex, transcript
Ref: Dolan & Davies, Plant Cell Monogr; Gilbert Plant Development: root hairs emerge exclusively in maturation/differentiation zone.
Lateral roots arise from the pericycle, making them endogenous in origin.
